Flowers are starting to bloom, the temps are rising, and the wonderful stinky neoprene is coming out of storage. Yes, Spring has Sprung!
Spring is a fantastic time to go rafting on the New River, you get fewer crowds, higher water, fine looking wildflowers, green trees and mountains.
In order to not freeze your booty off, you need to dress appropriately. Here are a few basics you need to know:
- Avoid cotton at all costs (yes, it may be comfortable but when it gets wet it does retain water, think wet sweatshirt)
- Wear wool, poly pro or a fleece
- Splash Jacket
- Wetsuit
- Wool socks
- Neoprene booties
Don’t forget your Chums glasses strap and a water proof camera to capture all of those thrills. Lastly you may want to bring a little sunscreen, the sun is hard on you after a long winter. You are now ready to experience Big Time Splashes on the New River. See you on the river……………
