Welcome to Stupid Guide Tricks!!!
Our goal is to make the lives of all whitewater river runners easier and more fun. Whether you are a professional whitewater raft guide or private boater you will find lots of tricks and tips here that will make your next river trip more enjoyable.
Why did I create Stupid Guide Tricks? Whitewater rafting, while fun, can be a lot of work, whether you are guiding professionally, doing a day trip with friends or embarking on a Grand Canyon expedition. As a whitewater river guide and private boater I have learned lots of tricks from other whitewater boaters that have saved me pain and suffering and generally made my river trips more fun. Stupid Guide Tricks was born to share those tricks.
But more importantly it was created to tap into the collective wisdom of the whitewater boating community to make the site tricks and tips rich. You see, I am selfish. While I want to share what I know I want to learn even more. That's where you come in. Browse the Stupid Guide Tricks categories. Then submit some of your own river tricks so we can share them with the whitewater boating community. If you have a short story about where the trick came from send it along. Photos that help illustrate the trick are also welcomed. If you like we will publish your name, otherwise your 
privacy will be strictly maintained. Topics can be wide ranging, check out the categories to generate ideas. In appreciation for your contribution we will send you a Stupid Guide Tricks sticker for your personal ammo can or vehicle.

"So this is a River" "THE River," corrected the Rat. "And you really live by the river? What a jolly life!" "By it and with it and on it and in it," said the Rat. "It's brother and sister to me, and aunts, and company, and food and drink, and (naturally) washing. It's my world, and I don't want any other. What it hasn't got is
not worth having, and what it doesn't know is not worth knowing. Lord! The times we've had together..."
