RAFTING

Rafting is a sport where teams race inflatable rafts down rivers. To participate, rafters must wear protective gear like life jackets, helmets, and wet or dry suits depending on water temperature. They use carbon paddles to maneuver the raft and potentially rescue equipment if someone falls in. Rivers are classified from Type 1 with small waves to Type 6 with large, dangerous rapids that could cause injury. The first team to reach the destination wins the race.
