3 Techniques for Whitewater Rafting

Smoky Mountains river rafting in white water differ greatly from kayaking and canoeing. They also possess their particular maneuvering techniques through obstacles in whitewater. A few of these maneuvering techniques include:

•  Pivot: Turning the raft from a ferry angle to a bow-downstream Position.     This narrows the passing space of the boat, allowing it to slide closely past obstructions. Sometimes called a front pivot 

• High side: This command is used just before collisions with rocks and other obstructions, If a crew, is quick, the raft's upstream side is lifted up in time to let the current slide under, rather than into, the raft. 

• Low siding: Moving to the low side of a boat usually to squeeze through a narrow channel.
