As extreme sports go, white water rafting is up there with the most challenging. Jumping into an inflatable raft to navigate a menacing river of thunderous waves, swirling eddies, pummeling holes, and the odd massive boulder or two is not for the fainthearted. In fact, it helps if you're one oar short of a rowboat. But if fear is your friend and you spit in the face of adversity, then this insane watersport is for you. PS: beginner swimmers need not apply!
