white-water rafting
Turbulent river sport
White-water rafting is the recreational activity of navigating inflatable rafts through river rapids.
Participants paddle through turbulent stretches of water, often graded by difficulty from Class I (gentle) to Class VI (extremely dangerous).
We went white-water rafting on the Colorado River.
The sport combines teamwork, physical exertion, and controlled risk.
