Nice video, that packraft looked more like a hardshell creeker. What version of the Valkyrie is it? Have any issues with punctures or hull damage?

Can you tell me about your outboard situation? I have a Vic 18 and stock motor bracket with trolling motor. I would like to get an outboard for it, but my 15” 2.6 I don’t think will be long enough for it. Thanks

Thanks for posting! Does the rapid at 3:15 have a name?

thanks for the virtual trip....

What’s the level in this?

How do these,18s do in the ocean? Can they hold an asymmetrical spinnaker?

This run was "discovered" around 1978 and within a couple of years, it was a popular commercial raft run. I started running it as a commercial guide in '79 and, one time, brought along my C-1 for a first descent of Caldera.

Haha crazy I found this video! I was the guy at the end in the double duck!

Sad I missed you! I am a local Eugene boater and ran this in my Spud on Monday. Love your videos of local runs maybe I will see you out sometime!

The vic 18s are so elegant. Do folk ever add a boom vang?

I'm looking at buying one of these boats, if you have opinions I'd love to hear them, hoping to spend a summer cruising around the great lakes

Okie Dokie!

Boater is ballz deep in paranoia. Enjoy the river bro!

Nice video shitty music

It's been 5 years. How's it held up?

Thanks for the footage!

haha beater

Went down this river once and saw 4 guys in 2 separate canoes heading towards some falls. They kept paddling and at least one of them fell out while the others got catapulted into the gorge they didn't know they were about to go over. Still don't know if they got out lol.

Sweet, I gota get over there. thanks for the share. peace.

Great video keep it up 👍

Killer Ride!

What I’d give for one more opal gorge lap at this flow 😔

How's the face after that?

Wow! that looked awesome on the big tv, awesome footage👍

Awesome level

is one guy in a dry suit and the other nothing?

The navigability of these particular rapids by jet boat is deboatable

What are the strainer hazards Like? Still tunable right now?

👍👍👍

Awesome, looked like a fun time out there!

Thanks for sharing. I also sailed for a week (ASA) on Kipper Kite some 10+ years ago in the San Juans. Great and safe boat and total fun. (In fact, I am driving the spinnaker Kipper in the SJS brochure photo, up in Desolation Sound)

What gauge?

wheres the starting point for that? can you drive to it? those are 2 different rivers/creeks??

Would love to learn were should I start been kayak lakes and slow moving rivers I’m getting older so it’s time to stop dreaming of doing and start doing but we’re do I start

The music comment at the end. 😆👌🏽

Hello! I have the same boat 😃 thanks for sharing the video. Question fo you. Do you get a lot of water in the hull while sailing? When I put mine back on trailer there is a ton of water that comes out the rear drain. I figure it comes in through the swing keel opening in the hull. I really need to fix the issue. Seriously, I will pull to the side of the launch ramp and it will pour out for 10 minutes. Thanks!

It’s great to see boaters playing on the river. Thanks for the ride.

Yewwwww! lol Despite little beta your wall of vodoo line was clean.

Just bought a bay liner us yachts 18 and don’t know anything about sailing. May I contact you? I have questions about parts and pieces of the boat. My email is tjkimble@yahoo.com. Many thanks!

I'm new to ww kayaking but not to ww. I used to be a raft guide in CA but live in MN now where there are good ww kayak rivers but nothing with enough volume to raft. I'm 6"4 and 250lbs and I got a dagger rewind Large. I cannot find stability in this kayak, I have only paddled IKs in the past and this is a very different feel. I can't move my seat forward cause I'm too tall. Does anyone have any other tips to help with stability? So far I can't even keep stable on a choppy lake, much less a river haha. Thanks to anyone for comments

Is that you playing the hang drum too?!? Lolz, looks fun!

Looks like fun!

Thanks for posting. The Tiger Creek Dam run is part of the Caliornia Wild and Scenic River section of the N. Fork Mokelumne. This elevation was home to the Plains Miwok and in summer, a little farther east, the Washoe people. I've never seen Mokelumne translated as "Condor River" and I've worked on Mokelumne issues for nearly 32 years. Most people say it translates from Miwok as "people of the fishnets," "-umne" being a suffix meaning "people of." But I should check that with local Miwok speakers.

Five falls were ahead, but we were only to hit three, they put another guide in our boat to insure our safety...they put the lead guide in our boat..he was a rafting God. I had much confidence in him..he too was named Todd..but after one bump, he was swallowed by a wave..he didn't go alone...once again we lost Dave...then Brandon gone thrown, I figured we surely was done..for once we had 2 guides...now we had none..all five falls we hit...they all being scarey...I'm not a catholic man....but I did two our fathers and one hail mary

Is this the section below Lake Berryessa?

Thanks for the great write-up. Def going to refer to this section as Reality Falls from now on.

I love it! Water is cold!

Great run. I had no idea that Little White Salmon was so fun at that level. Do you know how deep Spirit falls landing pool is Clinton? I'm thinking of dropping it on a river board.

Thanks for sharing your video love the way you share the information
