Rafting on the rivers

What you need to know when rafting on the rivers

Hydrodynamics and balancing catamaran “deuces”
The most unfortunate, in my opinion, the type of obstacle in the alloy – holding the barrel with a strong backflow. The largest percentage of upheaval associated with the loss of speed, stopping, and the subsequent «batch» ship it to them. That is, the ability of the ship to overcome such obstacles to a large extent, depends the security of the entire alloy. That’s it in the first place and went ballansirovka

Sports alloy
The direction of water tourism, formed in the second half of 20., Rafting down the turbulent water at the special courts (kayaking, catamarans, rafts, etc.), managed only muscular strength. Unlike the tourist-excursion trips on the rivers, sport alloy is focused on the passage of difficult routes, different kinds of saturated obstacles, overcoming of which requires special training and are often associated with risk to life and health of athletes. There are three types of sport alloy: extreme rafting down the river, rowing slalom, freestyle in the turbulent water

Helmet
It is unsuitable for alloy construction helmets. They do not protect whiskey, have a weak absorption, and the expansive fields make it difficult to act rowers in the water. It is not recommended to use and motorcycle helmets. They have a very strong absorption, calculated to preserve the integrity of the head with the much stronger impact – for example, in a counter-truck. Such trifles as possible concussion or loss of consciousness, not taken into account. Impacts that have to withstand, not so strong, but it should remain fully operational after that in order to successfully complete fusion

Lifejacket
Today, life jacket is a universal means to sustain the tourist in the water almost in a vertical position autonomously, ie independently of its actions. Tourist-water is especially important autonomous life jacket, because it can take any necessary action without worrying about keeping themselves afloat – this task performs a lifejacket

Classification of barriers
The absence of a domestic scale, well-defined criteria – that it take six, and that edinichkoy (in terms of technical complexity) – and led to the current classification system has not only different from the international, but also different in different regions, clubs and even individual tourist groups. In addition, the lack of uniform interpretation of the notion of «technical complexity hike» led in one category are, for example, by the rapid river rafting and traveling to remote areas that do not have between them almost nothing in common

Freshet
When the river floods flowing on track, not designed for such a quantity of water, so the saturation constraints and their complexity, as a rule, sharply increasing. If this flow remained constant, it is, of course, would change direction, vydernula to the trees, where it flows through the forest, would destroy the coast in some places and namyla to new banks in other countries, would have leveled the floor and smooth to turn. However, when the river level is the exception rather than the rule, as if you find yourself in another, a very young mountain region, where the river had not yet managed to develop a good track

Other dangers of the turbulent water
All that creates a river of people on their curved hands, may be difficult. The danger of such constraints that they are atypical for the normal flow. Some of them are free to pass through their waters, in which case they are completely equivalent to rubble. Others are located in unusual places or channel direct stream unnatural way. Traditional stone, lying on the axis of the stream is destroyed, or whirl away for no more than several thousand years, so in the normal line moderately complex river of stones is not

Wrapping rocks and shores
When the flow rate is insufficient to raise the water level above the stone, the stone is formed upstanding shaft. If the stone falls out of the water under a small angle, the shaft is broad and smooth, you can use it to their advantage, like a normal shaft. Come up to him and to settle with his speed, you can easily drill down and jump down to the stone in the desired direction. If the flow encounters in its path vertical bar, the shaft becomes very short, and its peak upright

The advanced vertical turbulence
Fungus – one of the most unpleasant structures. Ascend to it against the current, much less against the variation of the levels is very difficult. When going strictly to the center, she drops back, and when driving on a tangent – awry. Then sboyka formed on its border, is doing its part. Of course, with all that can be fought, but it is hard and tedious work, no pleasure – especially when several poganok form a continuous array. Unlike other water bodies, in this situation, there is no spray that can be used for their benefit

Western Water-plum
Because of the high-velocity bottom discharge collapses stronger than the bottom horizontal parts of the river, so it is probably formation of projections and irregularities. If you lack depth, they can deploy a vessel to undesirable or even wedge it. All these projections show a surface discharge in the form of foam trails, mini-drums and «cocks tails». Your first task when passing plum – choose a path free of these obstacles
