Just found this good writeup on one person’s experience using inflatable kayaks.  The person, Marlen Kemmet of Iowa, talks about using inflatable kayaks on the Salmon River in Idaho, the Arkansas river in CO, the upper Colorado river in CO, in Yellowstone Park, and many other places.

One good tip offered is “to determine what your course or “line” will be about 50 to 100 feet before hitting the whitewater, paddle hard before hitting the rapids, and go through the rapids head on. “  The reason for this is if you hit a wave too slow it may turn you sideways and flip.

Its an excellent article which can help you enjoy your inflatable kayak.  Here is a link to the article.
