" The Kings was the first river I ever ran. It was loads of fun, yet mellow enough for just about anyone, even my scaredy-cat wife! I highly recommend it! "

"Our good friend Craig invited 15 friends along to celebrate his 50th birthday on a WWV trip to the Upper Kern. And a great day it was! The thrills were intense. Roger was the guide for my raft and did an outstanding job. Although we had no prior raft experience, he trained us quickly and got us working as a team. Thank you Roger for a fantastic trip! "

" I'm most honored to have had the chance to be with such dedicated, experienced guides on your whitewater school. Back at work, my mind wanders constantly to images of the past week, where I literally soaked it all in. It's hard to believe I was in school... more like a vacation. "
