So I went Whitewater Rafting last weekend. The day was basically split into two parts, divided by a lunch break. In the morning, we went through a long series of Class 2 rapids, basically short and choppy waves. It was mostly relaxing, until we started having waterfights with other boats in our group.
It turns out there there’s actually a small amount of tactics involved in waterfights between two rafts – positioning the raft can make it much easier to splash the other, and being trapped in between two enemy rafts is a pretty big problem. Of course, the fact that everyone was already wet meant that getting hit wasn’t really a problem.
The second half of the day was definitely the best part. We got to go on about four Class 3 rapids, and we all got completely soaked. There isn’t much that can compare with going down a rapid right into a huge wave of water.
Overall, I thought the trip was a nice escape from the monotony of life. The rest of the summer will probably be quite boring.
the monotony of life… uh huh.
