Author: tiziakSubject: Sky GaugePosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 3:51pmYou gotta remember to account for level rising and dropping. When I woke up, I checked level and I think the gauge said 9K and going up 300ish cfs an hour. A few hours later it was in the 6k range and dropping over 500 cfs an hour. 6k and dropping 500cfs and hour (basically a full on tributary every hour) is not gonna look or feel the...

Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity · 10-13-2015 at 11:26

Author: EllingferdSubject: Rand VS. BungeePosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 11:26amWhat drysuit do you have? Back zipper or cross the chest? Any cross the chest zipper drysuit will end up letting in more water to your boat because the zipper breaks the "seal" between the skirt and your body. This is not the case w/a back zipper or drytop. This is why Kokatat drysuits for playboating are always kind of a b...
