Excellent lines. I've rowed rafts through this and my buddy flipped a raft at Velvet years ago. Not a nice place to swim.

I wish I had 1/10 this skill on the oars.

I also added a video of Velvet Falls at a really easy level, just under 3 feet:

Enjoy.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

I've done it, but not at that level.  If I was forced to do it at that level, there would be green paint on several rocks.  Great rowing, and great video.

Thanks guys! That was the only time it was easy after we started running the right side of the rapid. It stops being fun when the river gets much lower. More rocks than water. I couldn't imagine running an aluminum boat over there....
