: this question is too hard to answer, really.

: anything dangerous? sure, or course lots just in doing it.

: if the good advice is to use regular ww yaks in real stuff and stripper for

: simple class 2 or slightly above, maybe ok. and since its you making them
: for your sons who you care about, you'll probably do an ok job.

: basically for ww, i'll over do the glass, w/ good vertical foam pillars
: running down the centreline, and i'll use it in higher water(less rocks)
: and situations i already have run before and know.

: -mick

Thanks. Do foam pillars provide enough floatation or do you bag it on both sides? Higher water max class 2's around here. Low water is a push and scrape. My biggest worry is strainers but that's part of the business. I think the really daring one will be interested in surfing but will have to discourage until skills there ( mine too, can't let him go alone)
