Christian steadies the big boat down the Kananaskis river as the guys hit a big wave.Coming up out of a big wave, the guys realize just how cold that water really is. Really. Christian guides the group in a manoever called 'surfing' down the first river run. The formation of the wave holds the boat in position once the guys all dog-pile on the lucky rafter in the front. Fun!Surfing again with Christian. Rafters on the front of the boat got a little wet but had a great time.
