A Note from the Owner
 Over the years we have contemplated what equipment to provide, which
rivers to run, what to teach and most of all what to charge for our whitewater river trips, guide schools and workshops.
What to teach and provide became evident right off the bat; provide the
necessary equipment to allow someone to experience whitewater rivers
comfortably as to not interfere with their learning process. As far as
what to teach, well… everything that we know and all that we expect our
guides to know. We include not only the obvious guiding and safety
skills, but client considerations, logistics and the finer points of
being a true river guide.
The cost issue was a bit harder to figure, but I think we found a good
middle ground. Don’t lose money offering a course, but be realistic in
understanding what a undertaking this is for most potential
students & guest. I remember the sacrifices I made to go to my
first guide school. We have come up with extremely competitive prices
for some of the finest river rafting trips, schools and workshops in
the industry.
Outfitting has an astronomical amount of overhead associated with it.
Often times, it seems that corners are cut in order to counter this. I
have always had a problem with that. For our students and clients I
crave the latest and safest equipment in our industry,
and I take pride in sharing it with you. Over the years I have chosen
to put money and effort into new gear and guide training as opposed to
complex marketing strategies. I’ve done this hoping that these will
represent our company and bring us success. I hoped that the word would
get out that we truly set a standard in quality in every aspect of our
operation.
Today, I can honestly say that I believe our trips and schools are some
of the most complete, comprehensive, exciting, educational, unique and
most of all fun adventures in the industry. I invite anyone to come and
experience our whitewater raft trips, schools, workshops or extended
expeditions with a personal guarantee that you will not be
disappointed.
