If you have never tried golden white water rafting, it is time not only to know about this beautiful sport, but also try your hands at it. White water rafting is challenging and recreational outdoor activity where the users use inflatable raft to navigate through a river or bodies of water. This is done on white water or different degrees of rough water in order to excite or thrill the raft passengers. The development of this activity as a leisure sport has become popular since the mid-1970s. Today, it is considered an extreme sport, as it can also be dangerous sometimes.

The modern raft that would see is an inflatable one, made of very durable, multi-layered rubberized or vinyl fabrics with several independent air chambers. The length of the raft can vary between 11 ft to 20 ft, and the width can vary from 6 ft to 8 ft. The exception of this size rule is usually the pack raft, which is specially designed as a single person raft and may be as small as 4.9 ft and weighs as little as 4 pounds.

Rafts come in many forms. You will get to see symmetrical and asymmetrical rafts in different places. All kinds of rafts are propelled with ordinary paddles and can hold 4 to 12 persons. You may also find catamaran rafts which are mostly popular in Russia. These rafts are rowed instead of paddled.
