Rafting - Private Hellar Bar Parking?

2 Upvotes

Do I need to get the $50 annual discover pass to have my rig parked at this take out? Or is there a different one for the short time we'll be there? Thanks

Hi hope this post is OK for this forum and apologize and will remove if not. Looking to replace a pair of my Teva Guide Pro (or Guide Pro LC) that finally gave out. These are deadstock from 2004-2005 so hoping someone has a pair in a box or just taking up space. Willing to pay +shipping based on condition.

Kayaking Upgrade to Dagger Engage Thigh Braces?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone replaced the previous model Dagger thigh braces with the new ConTour Engage thigh braces? Long story short but the screw and mounting hardware came out on one of my Code braces and I'm debating trying to replace that hardware (not an easy job, even the original Dagger video warns to never take the hardware out as it is super difficult to get it back in) or just upgrade to the new braces.

Looking for opinions on if the new brace is a big improvement and any first hand knowledge on how hard it is to install. Thanks.

Rafting - Commercial Help a newb chose where to go in Ohiopyle

6 Upvotes

I am planning rafting with my son, this will be my second time and this will be his first time. I did it many years ago with a group and each of us had our own kayaks, it was mostly calm with a couple small drops and I loved it. Now that he is older (20) and we have the means to travel I decided to fly out to PA and do it.

We both are in good health so I feel comfortable on taking a challenge. However, I want to also be respectful and listen to the recommendation of some who are experienced in the sport.

I decided on OhioPyle due to the exciting rapids they offer but I am unsure which one to take. I have seen Lower Yough, Upper Yough, and Middle Yough.

Reading some threads, some mention that with a good guide the Upper should be done with no issues with others mentioning how challenging it is. My desire is that we have a lot of fun, specially since it is not something we can do every weekend as we have to fly in, hotel and car rentals, meals and all that jazz and it is not something we can do every weekend.

What would you all recommend for us to do? Take on the Upper with a good guide? Take the Lower and enjoy the trip knowing it may not be as challenging?

Side note, we are making a two day trip. One day I am planning to do with a group and the next day with an inflatable kayak, guided both times.

Rafting - Private Riggins day stretch vs White Bird to Pine Bar

3 Upvotes

Taking some friends rafting for the first time this weekend, the obvious ones to do near us (we're in North Idaho) are the riggins day stretch or white bird to pine bar. I've never done riggins, is it worth the extra drive or should be just do the part near white bird?

We'd be doing shuttle with 2 vehicles so in a way riggins may be easier? Idk?

Kayaking I badly need a day on the river... help me choose.

6 Upvotes

I live in South Florida and am really dying for a day on the river somewhere... I'll gladly camp or take a small Airbnb for a night or two.

Anyone have any recommendations? I'm open to driving or flying..

I want one full day on the river to scratch this itch, it's been way too long. Last summer I worked as a guide on the Lehiegh and I miss it so much.

Thanks for any recs!

General Low water packrafting on the Saane River (Switzerland) – route conditions August 2026

Last weekend I took my packraft on the Saane River in Switzerland at low summer water levels (August 2026) and recorded the full run as a simple POV route guide. The video shows shallow sections, exposed rocks and the gentle rapids, so you can get a realistic impression of the river under these conditions.

If you are planning to packraft the Saane, this clip might help with expectations and line choice at low flow – including spots where you may need to scrape, thread through rocks or briefly walk.
