adrenalin from rafting

rafting is rowing a boat down a river or stream. Rafting is a sport that is full of risks. But anyone can do it if the body is in good condition. Many types of currents in rafting. Because of the current exercise is quite challenging for beginners. This sport uses teamwork. So one person makes a mistake, then the boat can be reversed.

rafting boat containing seven people. 1 person in full control of the team. So 6 people must obey the commander. Equipment for groups such as riverboats, oars, pump, rope, maps of the river (if available) and supplies kit. Personal equipment such as buoys, clothing, shoes and helmets.
Keep in mind while rafting, do not bring mobile phones.

There are several rowing technique:

forward Stroke
If the paddle blade is inserted into the water and pushed back, it will give rise to power which can move the boat forward. The deeper the water entering into the paddle blade coupled with a strong pull force the energy to move the boat forward will be great anyway. Dayungan with a large force is required if the boat had to break through the hole is large enough, which required a fairly high speed boat.

backward Stroke
Oars or paddles behind the retreat is if the blade rowing oars dipped into the water and pushed forward it will cause a force that can move the boat backwards. At the moment the paddle blade push forward do not use the hand as a rotary shaft as it will not cause dayungan powered. The most effective is to use a rotary shaft waist. Paddle behind this is very effective for reducing the speed of the boat if you have to do maneuvers quickly over short distances.

Draw Stroke
If the paddle blade is inserted into the body of water but the position of the blade sticking out to put the paddle into the water a little away from the body of the boat, and then pulled the body towards the boat. Rowing is a highly effective appeal to shift the position of the boat above the water when maneuvering the boat.

If you are drowning / falling into the water. You have to do a swimming Defensive attended a swim current position is in a supine position, feet in meeting state and always be on top of the water to avoid foot entrapment. Defensive swimming is done in the rapids with a directional view downstream. Use your hands as a regulator of the balance or to go to the bank, and avoid other obstacles.
