White water rafting - weight limit? How hard is it physically? What fitness level is needed for 1/2 day trip?
I am going white water rafting with my family, but my mom is worried about weight limit for herself & that she isn't physically fit enough. My mom has no mobility problems and she works on her feet all day long. She is able to do mild-moderate hikes without difficulty. She doesn't have any health problems, but she is overweight. I am trying to put her mind at ease, but I am not having any luck when looking on rafting websites. So, yahoo! public, what do you know?
Are there ever weight limits for the average 1/2 day rafting trip? What are they?
What kind of physical fitness level is needed?
Any information related to fitness/weight and rafting would be appreciated. I really want my mom to join the family on this trip!
No offence but how big is your mom? Tell her that it is a blast and she has got to go. I have never heard of any weight restrictions except that you have to be at least 90lbs to hit the class 4 and 5 rapids, and it doesn't sound like that is a problem. As far as physical strain is concerned there are usually 8 to 12 people in a raft her input will not be missed. Just have her in between two stronger paddlers. I have been on several trips and there are usually at least 3 or 4 people in the raft that do very little paddling. Mention it to your guide and he will make sure to put her in a position that is insignificant. Mom if you're reading this "Go for it!" you won't regret it.
