Yampa River High Water Raft Flip 2011

Rafting the Yampa River. johnnywetuber flips his boat twice in big water. The video only shows the first which actually occurred on the Green River after the confluence. Moonshine, SOB, Schoolboy, and Inglesby Rapids were pretty big @ 29000CFS. Warm Springs normally a Class III becomes Class V and is a blast to run as long as you stay out of "The Maytag" hole. This was June 14-19 and the Yampa was just below 20K. I lost my cooler full of beer on the second flip as I forgot to strap down the lid to my captain's cooler. That and the Jolly Roger were the only casualties. Hindsight was that I should have been more prepared to flip it back over sooner. The current was too strong to get it to shore. Surprisingly enough our first time rafter Linda had left her good upright raft to help jump on the upside down shark and flip it back over in the big rapids. Thanks to Eddie and Benner for helping me flip it back over and to all the rest of the team for being there. They are listed in the credits at the end of the movie. SC '78
