: this question is too hard to answer, really.

: anything dangerous? sure, or course lots just in doing it.

: if the good advice is to use regular ww yaks in real stuff and stripper for

: for your sons who you care about, you'll probably do an ok job.

: basically for ww, i'll over do the glass, w/ good vertical foam pillars
: running down the centreline, and i'll use it in higher water(less rocks)
: and situations i already have run before and know.

Thanks. Do foam pillars provide enough floatation or do you bag it on both sides? Higher water max class 2's around here. Low water is a push and scrape. My biggest worry is strainers but that's part of the business. I think the really daring one will be interested in surfing but will have to discourage until skills there ( mine too, can't let him go alone)
