Josh,

There have been numerous posts on this BB regarding WW boats. I just did a quick search of the archives and got all kinds of good stuff, including pictures of guys squirting in wood strip boats.

Just go to the top of this page, click on search, enter the word whitewater and go back about eight months.

Does the school require you to get an actual "mentor" as part of the program? Maybe you could get them to buy off on using this BB as your mentor. There is more help, insight, experience, wisdom and just nice people on this site than you could possibly find in any fifty "mentors".
