I used to white water kayak up to class 4 rapids,, water can and will kill! And thinking back it does take a special kind of crazy...I must have been stoned.....
Nice! I kayak quite a bit here. Pretty sedate though. There's some Class 4 on The New River and when the open the damn on the Gauley River in WV.
The older I get though, I'd rather just burn on, have a beer, and float around. I moved from Charleston, SC amd that was the perfect place for that. Get baked and cruise around through the mashes and inlets etc. Just watch out for gators!
