Looks like he'd done that before. Raft looked mighty small in there.

I am a big fan of the Super Puma.

One of the best all around play rafts I know of, just a hoot to row or paddle or row with paddle assist.

However, looking at that video made my mouth go dry just thinking about his first move off the bubble line which was about as good as it gets to setup for the rest of the chaos on that drop. Like a lot of rapids on the GC, if you do the entry right, the rest usually goes pretty good. Looking at the video, the oarsman aced the rest of the moves and made it look like a easy run.

I am agreeing with Senor Tim, based on his rowing technique, I don't think that was his first rodeo for sure!

Definitely a must see for all rafters and inspiration for all us Super Puma fans especially.

As a Super Puma fan, I am saying that bigger is better at Lava. He would have looked better if he would have had about four of them lashed together!

I have a Puma and love it! Love seeing videos of the Pumas (all sizes) tackle the gnar! If anyone wants to go rafting, let me know and I'll be there!
