Good question, as I have only oared once with no real hazards, I sill found it to be somewhat of a challenge. So my question is what regulations are in place for white water quides as this is a discussion on the skill of rowing a boat, should the guides be get certified in the same manner.

one other question to bring up is how do the new guys like myself. I can afford the boat, but I am not qualified to row it down any river without proper training.
