Inflatable Kayaking 101: Whitewater Basics
Inflatable kayaks are a fun and challenging way to navigate a river. For those who've never paddled an IK, this video will help you get a feel for these maneuverable craft. From how to hold your paddle to how to climb back in after a swim, we cover many of the basics for inflatable kayaking in rivers.
Many OARS multi-day rafting trips offer river sections that are fun and suitable for inflatable kayaking. The use of these and other craft on any trip is at the discretion of the assigned guides. Check out the trip literature on our trip pages to see if your trip has IKs as a boat option. www.oars.com/multi-day-trips/
Additional advice on how to take on rapids and what to do if you flip can be found here:

    I live in West Virginia, we never flipped rafts with someone hanging onto a thwart like that. Is that common, or was the customer just messing around?

      I'll admit, im unsure myself, but I'd imagine it's just an easy way to go get the boat flipped, while also having someone already in, to assist in getting the other up into the boat after

    My father took my brother and I on a Grand Canyon trip with Oars back in 2003 and Duffy was one of the guides on our trip. It was a trip of a lifetime and changed me for the better. We we're down there for a month and I never saw one cloud, had the best Thanksgiving meal ever, and was the first boat on our trip through Lava Falls! I'll never forget that trip. I see video and pictures from inside the canyon and I know where they are, I know the rocks, the beaches, and the canyons. They will be a part of me forever, I crave to be with them again, and fear I never will. The boat after ours through Lava Falls flipped and one of the passengers got stuck under the boat. She was rescued and had a huge gash on her forehead (you could see her skull). The guide lead used a satellite phone to call for a air evac. A helicopter landed inside the canyon, the "very concerned" husband of the injured lady ran right to the pilot and asked "Did the Cubbies make the series!?" The injured lady was in Vegas later that night playing slots. Other than that and running out of beer in the second week it was a trip of a lifetime! Thank you Dad, thank you Oars, and thank you Mr. Litton.
