Oh man thats crazy your guide tried to waterboard you "surfing" lol.
I have not gone rafting, just kayaking on mostly calm waters though windy which sucked. But have also had a good time on canoes going down the Chattahoochee.
Glad you two had a great time.
He was the best!
You have gotta try something like this out. I enjoy kayaking, but rafting is a whole other level of exciting. Advanced rafters are known to transition into kayaking the whitewater too.
