Intex River Run
Description:
There are limited reviews and questions for how the Intex River Run Inflatable Water Float performs on whitewater. When it comes to whitewater tubing, the Intex River Run is as deluxe as it gets and sure lives up to its name. The sturdy grab handles, rugged 18 gauge vinyl construction, back rest, and the grab line are all feature that deliver when the going goes from flat water to bouncy whitewater. The grab handles come in handy if one gets thrown off while in some big water.
Compared to my video and review of the Intex Seahawk 2 raft, the water level in this video is over a foot higher, thus adding a lot more splash and submerging the many exposed rocks that the Seahawk slammed into and bounced off of (thicker vinyl than the River Run). The River Run held up great to the frequent bumping that it took from the rocks of The Needles during a low water run. I'm curious to see how well the River Run would perform at White Horse at 3.5ft.+
I'm always up for meeting new people to join up and go kayaking with. If you're interested and are looking for some class II-III action, please feel free to reach out. I'm always looking forward to making new friends to make great whitewater memories with.
