big boy level???????

Post by Longboatin »

Is that 700-900 release on top of some added natural flow what make it BIG BOY level? :roll:

Cuz I only bin there two time, first time 1200, second bad time 1000. but I can assure yins all you need that 1200 ride there, not a mid-stream rock to be found, just nice rollercoaster juiciness an lotsa glassy waves. Anythin lower is too much work for dis longboater.
Plus my shid tighten up jus lookin at the slalom moves thru the bottom part of the race course, as I do my best downriver racer impression runnin clean dry line ocourse, that is til blastin down the final wave train fer the big ride.

Have fun out ther people

The Savage isn't that bad until ya swim. :o Hence the name. Places to note: Memorial Rock and Corner Rapid.
I went raftin' once. I think it was in Ohio.

I'll "oversell" a whitewater run and risk being wrong about the difficulty. So thanks for sharing what you know about the Savage. Loading now. Next stop, the campground. 8)

Well, that was more fun than a bag full or squirrels...

Good to see everyone, great time on the river. Thanks to all!

I'd have to say it was "rowdy"!

It was very fun to see everyone. Ocoee is wearing his new shirt and is quite passed out on the couch.

Thanks to everyone for a great time both on and off the river. It was great to meet new folks and to have the opportunity to try out so many different boats. : :D
