Rafter

It juggles and throws you around but you hold the paddle tight, beat the wave and move through the mob of bubbles and rocks, shouting at the top of your voice in an adrenalin rush.
Then you reach the calms and jump in to relax, locate the eddies and avoid them. Soon you spot the white waters at a distance and haul yourself back in. You pass other boats, some of them meet a scarier fate than you. But when you face the fury of the foam, its time to roar in battle. You watch it rise high above you but what are your choices; fight bravely or drown like a coward.
