Beta, I see you all talking about fancy dry suits and imported helmets, but let me tell you — in my younger days we used to flip the old PVC raft with just a lungi and a prayer, and we survived. All that gear is fine, but what matters is the core strength, haan ji. My grandson brought me some "self-bailing" raft video — I said, show me the data on how many lives it saved over proper paddling technique! These river companies change equipment every season but the boy who cannot do ten pushups will still drown. Trust the old ways, but test them — I test every dumbbell in my verandah before a new boy touches it.
