  1. Rafts & Accessories
    Selling a steel cataraft frame. I got it for my brother a while ago but he never got tubes for it. It has towers for oarlocks but no attached seat. Includes the seat in the photos but it is in pretty rough shape. It had some flaking paint so I repainted it. If you are a summer boater and the...

    ...we got skunked on permits this year, and one idea we are toying with is taking a trip to California to chain together some of the more popular day runs and / or overnight raft runs. I'm not very familiar with the geography or rivers of California, and was wondering what a feasible itinerary...

    Hello, I'm taking my family to Jedediah Smith Redwoods state park for Mother's Day weekend. I read that the Smith River flows through the park. Looking online, there's several sections of the Smith, all somewhat rainfall dependent for flows. I want to do something somewhat easy for the family...

    A couple of us are over in CA for other reasons in about a month. It would be great to be able to get on the river while we are there (we're used to the winter since it's the only time we can paddle over here :-)) Given that this is a "grab a spare day" kind of excursion, can any one suggest a...

    Hello, first post. Just found these forums loaded with info. I'm a former paddle boat guide from many years ago. My kids are now old enough for us to get into paddling. I have a fleet of three 2 man IK's with plans to purchase one more. We have done some class 2/3 water last summer. I'm...

    Driving Boulder, CO to San Francisco area next Sat. October 1, and Sunday. Brand new truck and rack, your boat and gear is welcome. Chip in gas and some driving. I could really use the company, as recent sciatic condition is not good for all day driving. 420 friendly if you are. Although I...

    I just purchased my first raft - a 14' NRS Otter for fishing. My challenge is finding a good affordable trailer. I am based near San Francisco and am willing to drive three hours to pick one up. Endless Google searches aren't fruitful. Any recommendations of trailers and where to get it? Hoping...

    Hi all, I have relocated to the South Lake Tahoe area and I am trying to find some solid runs in Northern California . I have a 14ft boat and before my current employment I was a raft guide. I have the experience (III-IV) but not the knowledge of the area. Any suggestions, on re-acclimating...

    I'm completely new to the world of white water. I've done some rafting trips/tours before when on my holidays and have found it pretty exhilarating but I've not yet taken it up as a proper hobby. I'm hoping that will change this year. I'm a huge fan of the outdoors and love trying new sports...

    Here are some shots from yesterday on the Scott. The Scott is a cool tributary of the Klamath River in Northern California. It's hardly had any days of runnable flows the last two years because of the lack of snow but this spring is looking great. During the shuttle we saw a ton of snow still up...
