	So you have been paddling class III's for awhile but how do you know when you should jump to class IV? I have been paddling class III rapids all this summer & last. I am extremely confident playing in every wave I can. Trying to surf the toungue of the rapid if its surfable. Eddying out every chance I can, ferrying across the rapid to the eddy on the other side. I have flipping 3 times all year in a rapid (not on purpose) and rolled up my first time every time. Just so I remember what it is like beign flipping in a rapid I usually flip myself at the tail end of a rapid and roll back up.    Are there any tell tale signs I am ready? I am certain I am ready but my kayaking partner just might not be yet so this is more for him than me. We are self taught if that matters at all.   Thanks
