    Rafting Feedback: it’s really fun depending on where you are canoeing….there are rough rivers and smooth ones…

    Rafting Feedback: It’s very relaxing and can be fun if you let it. It doesn’t go fast…unless of course your going down a slope. It won’t tip over unless you stand up so don’t do that =)…you do not get soaking wet, you probably won’t get wet at all…and what you’re picturing sounds like white water rafting, not canoeing. And it’s not stupid, i completely understand. It’s always nerve-racking to do something you’ve never done before with someone you like.

    Rafting Feedback: Tell him your concerns and go canoeing on a small pond. The water will be calmer than a big lake or river. Big lakes mean more encounters with big boats and their wakes. Don’t forget the sunscreen, wear a life vest and enjoy yourself. Paddling is a great workout so you might be a little sore and tired afterward but in a good way.
