Reviews by Experience Guides.

All of our gear reviews are strictly on gear that we use regularly for all our outdoor adventures. We will not review an item that we truly have not tested over multiple white water seasons. So you can rest assured knowing that you are getting a true seal of approval.

Each of us has over 10 years of experience guiding float trips on the rivers in the Pacific Northwest. Our goal is to run and provide reviews for all the States in the U.S. If you need help with where to go, logistics, guided trips information, or anything to do with Whitewater rafting adventures. Email us!
