River Hydrology 101 - Part 2 - How to 'read' whitewater rapids

[@RoryMatchett]

I have been a canoe moving water instructor for just over 30 years. Part 1 and this Part 2 are the best videos I have ever seen that demonstrate and explain river morphology. Thanks you! Excellent work in video imaging and explanations!

[@borealriver]

Thank you so much! :)

This more hydraulics vs hydrology, right? Great video though.

[@CyndisKrist]

This two-parter is one of the best and most thorough I've ever seen. Thanks for explaining exactly what things are and what causes them. It also shows us why we should never get overconfident out there. Thanks so much for posting these.

[@borealriver]

[@albinowarrior999]

Thank you for these descriptions and added overlays, really useful for training hydrology to others, excellently put together

Very informative I’m a beginner whitewater kayaker and this is very helpful

[@AnonymousStacker]

Good video. I think people want to watch more action on water with commentary. Bring more of these videos of break downs of actually paddling. This was a great video for me to start off

[@borealriver]

Thanks! Great idea.

[@b_gumm]

The comments of sieves were super helpful. Thanks

Excellent and comprehensive info, thank you! As an inexperienced boater but eager to learn this is exactly what I was looking for.

[@borealriver]

Thanks Ian, that’s great to hear. Have fun on the river :)

Standing wave? You mean the wave train baby!

Thanks, really helpful!

That was phenomenal! Been kayaking for decades and never thought to check out yt for content like this. I had to rescue someone from a strainer many years ago and didn't know what to call it, just never forgot how close of a call that one was, so I always look out for them now. Good stuff!

[@claytonheals]

Incredible video! Not boring, yet informative.

[@IFlyIChris]
