What to expect your first time whitewater rafting.

We wanted to do a little familiarization video for first time rafters. A lot of people ask us: What should I expect my first time whitewater rafting? If you are looking for a basic introduction to whitewater rafting this video is for you. Trevor and Kailee are going to cover a few different things you should know about your first whitewater rafting experience and help familiarize you with the following whitewater rafting concepts: 1. Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) 2. Paddles 3. Helmets 4. The Raft 5. Basic Personal Gear 6. Proper sitting and locking into a raft 7. Proper body positioning 8. Basic Forward Paddle 9. Basic Back Paddle 10. Stop and Resting Position There is a lot to cover when you're whitewater rafting, but these concepts are a good start in beginning to understand the sport of whitewater rafting. Whether you are going out with friends or on a guided whitewater rafting trip this should help you get a good start.
