Raft Oar Frames

Raft oar frames outfitting & setup for efficient rowing in whitewater rivers in Bryson City, NC Smoky Mountains! Learning about whitewater rowing is in my humble opinion the single most important skill to be well above average! Saftey rowing big water can turn for the worse in short order and it is always inexperience that tends to be the culprit.

I have been fortunate to work in one of the biggest whitewater training centers in the world Nantahala Outdoor Center. There is a bond like no other with all of the lifelong friends that chose a lifestyle in outdoor recreation.

Having the proper oar lengths, the balance of oars & boat, as well as a properly sized boat for the whitewater you intend to work on all make a huge difference!

Just like attaining a skill in fly casting or fishing techniques, whitewater rowing will require time on the oars. We have actual whitewater legends that teach the whitewater portion of the school. We have been close personal friends since 1987! Rest assured you are learning from some of the best teachers on the planet!
