hey I went to the river with my family for the first time and I must admit it was fun as hell.I was a slight bit scared at first but I got over it real quick.The river is much different then the beach,it was relaxing and calm,I was floating on a raft down the river me and my son,he was helping me paddle the raft.I did take my leg off I didn't want it to get to wet.There was so many folks on the river man I enjoyed it.I even got out of the raft and rode on a toob by myself.I am looking forward to going next year.
