IRF WORLD RAFTING CHAMPS 2021 AND 2022 DATES ANNOUNCED

By IRF admin, on June 8th, 2020

_IRF WRC 2021 – China | IRF WRC 2022 – Bosnia_

Following the unexpected need to postpone our 2020 World Rafting

Championship (WRC), the IRF has been working hard on delivering the

best solution in these unprecendented times. Many meetings (virtual of

course) and negotiations with all parties involved have delivered a

robust solution that we feel will meet the expectations of all

athletes and continue to deliver to the high standards that have come

to be expected over the last two decades of organising the pinnacle of

world raft racing.

It is therefore with great pleasure, that the IRF can now announce the

schedule for our World Rafting Championships 2021 and 2022.

_Sprint section on the WuPai River _

WRC 2021 will be held in China from 15 to 21 August, on the Wupai

river in the city of Ziyuan which was home to the 2019 IRF Pre-Worlds

and has hosted two other IRF World Cups. IRF WRC 2021 will be R4 and

so national members may need to review their selections accordingly.

Bosnia & Herzegovina will now host WRC 2022 from 29 May to 05 June

2022 on the famous River Vrbas. This will be an R6 championship.

Further details including registration information for WRC 2021 will

be launched later this year. Stay tuned across our social media or

sign up for our newsletter

for more information as it becomes available.

IRF HONOURARY PRESIDENT RAFAEL GALLO IS PADDLING A G6 SOLO AND WE

HAVE HIS BACK

By IRF admin, on June 5th, 2020

_IRF President Joe Willis Jones presents Rafael Gallo with his title

of IRF Honorary President_

Last year at the IRF 2019 Congress held in Tully, Australia, the IRF

voted to bestow the title of Honourary President on Rafael (Rafa)

Gallo to honour his long and unrelenting support of rafting and in

particular, the IRF.  The IRF would like to give back its unrelenting

support to Rafa in this, the hour of his need, as he finds himself

paddling through a life threatening Class 6  – a rapid on the river

of life called Pancreatic Cancer during the time of the COVID-19

pandemic.

Rafa is a long time legend in the rafting and conservation world, and

one of the founders of the IRF.  Together with Lee Porter, he

motivated the key people in the raft racing world at the time to join

together to create a formal organisation that would create, maintain

and officiate universal race rules and world championships, as well as

set standards for rafting guides and raft tour operators. And so the

IRF was born.

_Rafael Gallo paddles with Project RAFT co-founder Mike Grant at the

1991 Project RAFT Championships in Costa Rica_

But before even that, Rafa was captain of the rafting team that

represented Costa Rica at the first international rafting competition

event held in Siberia, Russia in 1989, and the second event held in

Nantahala, North Carolina, USA in 1990, and served as the principle

host for the 1991 event held in Costa Rica.  These early events

organised by Project RAFT set

the stage for the creation of the Camel White Water Challenges, which

lead to the first official World Rafting Championships and the birth

of the IRF in 1997.

As President and co-founder of Rios Tropicales

, Costa Rica’s leading rafting tour

company, Rafa has been a leading conservationist, visionary,

entrepreneur, and change maker in Costa Rican adventure tourism

for over 35 years. Rafa helped to lead the fight to save Costa

Rica’s iconic Pacuare River from being dammed,  and sits on a

number of boards where he continues to lead efforts to protect and

preserve Costa Rica’s rainforests, rivers, and local communities.

A few of these boards include organisations like Fundación Ríos

Tropicales, Reservas de Costarricenses, America Outdoors, Explorer’s

Club, and various Costa Rican Tourism organisations.

_Rafa opening the 2009 IRF World Rafting Championship, Banja Luka

_

Rafa has additionally been honored internationally and in Costa Rica

with recognition and awards like the Pioneers for Prosperity,

International Whitewater Hall of Fame, National Geographic Ashoka’s

Changemakers Geotourism Award, TIES Innovation Leadership in

Sustainable Tourism Award, and more.

Since the formation of the IRF, Rafa has served various roles on the

IRF Board of Directors (BOD) for most of its existence, including IRF

President, Vice President, and Chair of the Conservation Committee. He

has also served as an IRF Chief Judge, and Assessor with the IRF GTE

system. One of his proudest achievements was to host the first-ever

carbon neutral sports world championship, the 2011 IRF World Rafting

Championship, an amazing achievement.  After retiring from the IRF

BOD, his new position of Honourary President has allowed Rafa to

continue his ambassadorship for the IRF, his most recent work being

that of working as the IRF representative with the United Nations to

help train former FARC combatants in Columbia

as rafting guides, and

again stepping up to create and host the highly successful IRF World

White Water Rafting Summit.

Over these past few months, Rafa has been going through cancer

treatments in the United States and has responded positively to it.

However, with the added challenge of COVID-19 threatening everything,

including the health of his rafting company, it has been a hard and

daunting path. But what is incredible is that none of this has slowed

him down or reduced his amazingly indomitable spirit and initiative.

We salute him as we admire his strength, positive outlook and fierce

determination – traits that helped the IRF grow and develop during

its formative years, and are sure to help him during his current

challenges.  You can hear Rafa speak about these challenges during a

recent interview here

with #TourismStrong.

The IRF and the world of rafting is eternally grateful for all Rafa

has done and continues to do.  For those wanting to send Rafa a

message of support, please feel free to do so on

GUIDELINES FOR A SAFE RE-ENTRY INTO RAFTING

By IRF admin, on May 25th, 2020

As parts of the world start easing COVID-19 stay-at-home orders and

other restrictions the big question in rafting operators’ minds is

– how to start getting back onto the river and running trips safely?

Properly managed outdoor activities are among the safest activities to

engage in as the outdoor environment presents fewer opportunities for

the virus to spread when compared to indoor activities.  Rafting

trips can be one of the more challenging adventure activities to

manage during this pandemic.

The IRF has solicited ideas and advice from our Guide Training and

Education (GTE) Committee and various rafting tour companies around

the world to help raft tour operators, and even recreational rafters

and racers, to negotiate this first descent towards the ‘new

normal’ of running river trips. If you have solutions to any of the

problems that rafting operators are facing in getting people back on

the water please do let us know.  You may download a PDF version of

this article in ENGLISH

and in SPANISH

for printing and sharing. (Will be updated when needed. These versions

are 20200528.)

* GET FAMILIAR WITH THE RIGHT INFORMATION:

* Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources,

such as the World Health Organisation (WHO ) and

your local and national health authorities.

* To protect yourself and others from infection, we recommend that

operators follow WHO guidelines and recommendations, even if they are

stricter than your local requirements. Recommended reading: Getting

your workplace ready during COVID-19

(very worth the read) and Protecting yourself and others from the

spread of COVID-19

(essential).

* IN ADDITION to following WHO guidelines, it is also essential to

follow your LOCAL legal restrictions that govern activities of this

nature (which any operator, guide and trip leader must familiarise

themselves with before offering a trip).

* PREPARATION FOR THE ‘NEW NORMAL’

* Develop a clear plan to address the typical risks associated with

rafting and the heightened risk created by the Covid-19 pandemic. Know

what to do if someone becomes ill with suspected COVID-19 at any stage

of the trip.

* Minimize opportunities for transmission by instituting sign-up and

check-in procedures that do not require physical contact.

* Check with your liability insurance providers for any changes to

liability insurance policies as a result of operating during the

COVID-19 pandemic.

* Create or edit your liability release waivers to include any

social distancing guidelines that should be highlighted to the

participants prior to the commencement of a trip.

* Have a plan for postponing or canceling your trips if conditions,

such as local infection rates or local guidelines change.

* Consider the financial implications to you and your participants

if your government or local authorities suddenly or unexpectedly

implement more restrictive measures.

* Provide participants with clear information regarding deposits and

refunds which explains what will happen if a participant is unable to

begin or to complete a trip due to illness or a change in local

requirements.

* Determine how you will communicate schedule changes to your

participants and ensure that you have accurate contact information for

each participant.

A BOATER’S GUIDE TO CARABINERS

By Rafting Magazine, on May 22nd, 2020

CARABINERS

Carabiners are not only an essential rescue tool on the water, but one

of a boater’s most versatile pieces of equipment. From unwrapping

boats to attaching equipment to hanging a hammock boaters keep several

of these at had at all times. In this article, we are going to break

down why carabiners are important as well as some tips on how and what

to select. If you are trying to understand what is out on the market

we have a helpful buyer’s guide at the bottom of the page otherwise

you can find more info about carabiners below.

Carabiners are such an ubiquitous and important fundamental of boating

life, unfortunately in the boating world we spend far too little time

discussing their use and implementation. Many boaters climb as well

and it is important to note that although rope work, anchors,

fundamentals of force, and implementation of equipment has many

parallels; applying every principal of climbing to boating paints an

inaccurate picture of what the focus is on the water.

PARTS OF A CARABINER

_Satan’s Carabiner_

CARABINER GATE

This makes the whole system work. There are 2 major styles of

carabiner gates locking and non-locking. There are a couple major

styles of non-locking carabiners; wire gate and solid gate.

Unlike carabiners for climbing where non locking gates are often used,

in boating a non-locking carabiner is the devil.

Given the number of impacts that occur on the river, the constantly

shifting gear, and sometimes flying people; there is no place on a

boat for a non-locking demon carabiner. The potential to fly into a

carabiner during a surf or a flip, then getting your PFD caught in it,

only to hold you underwater, or against a rock is just too much of a

risk.

Having a non-locking carabiner is worrisome enough, however most

boaters tend to store carabiners within easy reach or on the lapel of

their PFD during use. Both scenarios at all violate the clean

principal

and can put people at risk as well as turn a rescuer into a victim.

Locking carabiners are more safe, effective, and common among boaters.

There are 2 major styles of locking carabiner that are available (they

go by many names): manual locking and auto locking. Continue reading A

ATTA’S 10 RECOVERY, HEALTH AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADVENTURE

TRAVEL

By IRF admin, on May 16th, 2020

Gustavo Timo  of

the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA)

feels that “Covid-19 brings

unprecedented challenges to the tourism industry and that means the

Adventure Travel sector as well. However, Adventure Travel might be

better equipped to recover and reboot faster simply because of the DNA

of the experiences we offer – small groups, nature-based, and set in

rural environments and communities. Our industry is resilient and

serves a more intrepid traveler that might be willing to come back to

travel before others. But no matter what, we need to adjust and adapt

to the new normal.”

So what is it that the adventure travel sector can do to turn this

lemon into a lemonade? The ATTA pulled a team of experts together,

who, in collaboration with the ATTA global community prepared the

topics below.

“They are a set of recommendations that reflect the role of

Adventure Travel in promoting the health and safety of our teams,

travelers, and the communities we visit.” says the ATTA team.

1. Reassess your market, consider all the options. Covid-19 has

severely impacted society in many different ways. You need to check

how your market has been affected and consider other opportunities. We

suggest the following approach: local, regional, domestic,

international short haul, international long haul.

Adventure Travel from ATTA.

ADVICE ON IRF GUIDE TRAINING WORKSHOPS AS COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS ARE

EASED

By IRF admin, on May 14th, 2020

Over the past week several countries have started lifting COVID-19

stay at home orders and other restrictions in a phased way even though

the pandemic is far from being over. Re-openings are taking place due

to various reasons, while health experts warn that the virus will

likely continue to be a health risk for many months or years.

IRF Guide Training and Education (GTE) Instructors are looking at

resuming GTE guide workshops in some of these areas, and so the GTE

Committee is developing an action plan for minimising the spread of

COVID-19 as part of the overall GTE policy (this can now be found

under Instructor Resources

).

As a general policy, the IRF always puts the health and safety of our

employees, athletes, instructors, volunteers and event participants

above all other considerations.

In the interim, before a specific COVID-19 policy for GTE workshops is

codified, several GTE Assessors have offered advice on conducting

workshops during these difficult times.  This advice is for

informational purposes only and is not offered as official advice by

the IRF, nor intended to supersede potential conflicting advice from

any codified IRF policy, nor the advice and instructions of local and

international health authorities: Continue reading Advice on IRF guide

SAVING TOURISM IN UNPRECEDENTED AND CHALLENGING TIMES

By Sean, on May 13th, 2020

In these testing times we find ourselves and our loved ones in

situations we would likely never have considered. Many of us in the

rafting industry are under increasing pressure with not just personal

situations but tourist operations and employees affected by lockdowns

and vast swathes of people cancelling their holidays and travel plans.

It’s times like these that we need to come together as the

#RaftingFamily and continue to support the rafting and tourism

communities.

Many adventure tourism businesses are looking at bleak seasons ahead,

if you have or had plans to travel and take part in tourist

activities, or own a tourism business here’s a list of some ideas to

consider: Continue reading Saving tourism in unprecedented and

ARCH RIVAL DRYSUIT REVIEW

As I unrolled the Immersion Research Arch Rival Drysuit at the put-in

for Slab-Creek I wasn’t sad about putting away my old drysuit. For

the last few years it had been more of a damp suit with replaced

gaskets, microholes and general leakiness. I had stretched that thing

to, and past, the end of its usefulness and was ready to end the day

with dry underlayers.

So I was stoked to try out the new Arch Rival. I hadn’t used any

gear from IR previously but had heard good things from kayaker friends

who had. Could this kayaking brand make a drysuit that performs well

for rafters too?

Turns out, this mid-priced drysuit would live up to my expectations.

The first thing that struck me was how light it was. The 3-layer nylon

Taslan fabric is lighter than any drysuit I had previously used. If

you wear your drysuit often, the lightness and comfortability is a big

plus. Also for all you instagrammers, it looks damn good. The cut was

much more form fitting and the fabric color layouts makes it the

coolest looking drysuit for that price.

IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR THE ARCH RIVAL DRYSUIT

This drysuit is not extremely thick, but it can stand up in the colder

conditions while also performing on warmer days. I’ve worn it in

both frigid temps and without any underlayers on more temperate days.

This drysuit can handle just about everything.

REVIEWED, REFRESHED AND RENEWED – IRF GTE INSTRUCTOR RESOURCES

By IRF admin, on May 7th, 2020

REVIEWED, REFRESHED AND RENEWED – IRF INSTRUCTOR DOCUMENTATION AND

RESOURCES (IN ENGLISH AND NOW ALSO IN SPANISH)

There is now a wealth of resources that the IRF provides to our

certified Instructors and Assessors which are all aimed at assisting

them to simplify the processes, administration and implementation of

assessing Guides, Trip Leaders and Instructors.

The updated and new documentation includes:

* IRF GTE Award System – the overarching document the system is

based on

* Assessment Guidelines for Workshops – setting out what and how

Instructors / Assessors are to assess for each certification

* A detailed letter for all Instructors and Assessors explaining the

administration processes of the IRF GTE System so that it is clear how

it works and can be referred to at any time

* A template to create a PDF or poster to advertise courses /

workshops

* A standard letter Instructors can adjust and send to candidates

before they attend their workshops so as to ensure the candidate knows

what to expect, what to bring, and how the IRF GTE System works

* Templates for recording the strengths and weaknesses of each

candidate, whether they are being assessed as a Guide, Trip Leader,

Safety Kayaker, Safety Rafter, Site Specific or Instructor certificate

* A throwbag test to use during assessments

* The minimum content for an IRF GTE compliant Guide Training

Program

* The IRF GTE award level overview as a Power Point presentation, or

as a flow chart

* Guide’s log sheets for recording their rafting trips – in pdf

format and in excel format

* CLAP = Communication, Line of Sight, Avoidance and Positioning

and is a tactic used to have a structured river running best practise.

This is in a Power Point version, Word doc version and a printable pdf

version

* IRF Youtube videos on common knots including hitches and prusiks

IRF Instructors and Assessors are continually working to add to the

resources available – we thank all those who have translated

documents in to other languages, who offer us their instructional

videos, and who continually assist us in improving the IRF GTE System

in general.

IRF Instructor resources are available on a password protected page on

the IRF website
