Whitewater Forum : Road 300 to lower Cispus closed

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: sbeck206Subject: Road 300 to lower Cispus closedPosted: 25 Feb 2016 at 1:40pmThat's a shame. Cispus is a fun little run. The majority of the class III rapids are below that bridge. I've heard there's another takeout farther down the reservoir but I imagine that would add at least several miles of flatwater.

Author: megspkSubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 25 Feb 2016 at 1:41pmAnymore suggestions of great stretches to solo boat in the class 2 to easy class 3 range that have a reasonable bike shuttle or hike? I like to do the powerhouse in my playboat and started solo boating that last summer (then just hike up the hill with my boat for exercise), but I was thinking the Headworks section on the Green woul...

Author: runawayjimSubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 25 Feb 2016 at 12:40pmAW, ACA and USCG have put together multiple reports and statistics on accidents and fatalities in whitewater vs flatwater and recreational boating, but has anyone seen these stats broken up by the class of whitewater? I assume the majority of fatalities occur on class I to IV- whitewater and I recall seeing a table that suppor...

Whitewater Forum : Solo Boating

Author: huckin harmsSubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 25 Feb 2016 at 11:14amI was wondering the same thought- about how many solo boaters have life traumatizing or worse incidents? Seems like most tragedies on the river occur when there are others there to witness and assist in rescue if possible, which of course stands for good reason. Few reports occur of solo boaters going missing. Rocky Contos h...

Author: Arrow6Subject: Solo BoatingPosted: 25 Feb 2016 at 10:28amI think if you're going to solo boat just make sure friends and family know your timeline and where you will be paddling than don't deviate from that plan. I don't know if there are statistics regarding rescues but if you're paddling the high classes there is likely a false sense of security when you paddle with a crew. Also, padd...

Author: megspkSubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 25 Feb 2016 at 9:17am Originally posted by huckin harmsOne other note. Over the years I have noticed a change in myself regarding my way of paddling. Early on, I rarely spent much time 'thinking' about boating. It was just something one spent time doing. Now, with youtube, books, and instructional videos we do lots of thinking about it. This can carry ...

But what I've seen is that class IV boaters seldom swim, especially when boating within their comfort zone of class IV. In fact, within that comfort zone, they probably seldom flip, unless playing.

Author: daveSubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 25 Feb 2016 at 7:44amI solo boat all the time. Usually after work in a public type of area like Kanasak Palmer park or the Cedar Slolum course for excersize. I have done some high risk solo boating, but I decided not to do that anymore. Even in a public area the risk is high and there is no rescue if somethiing goes very wrong.

Author: huckin harmsSubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 25 Feb 2016 at 7:14amMatt- I appreciate your incremental approach to learning to kayak. It's not the norm. Many go paddling first and discover the love for the river and then learn to roll. I've taken my son down the rio many times and he has zero roll. He's swam out of his boat on several occasions, but not more than me yet. Safety is always a p...
