How does length of a rapid increase its difficulty? Wilko New

Longer requires better endurance, longer concentration. <NT> cR@ViN_W@VeS New
Re:

I agree with that, but does it make it more difficult to control your boat through each part of a longer rapid? <NT> Wilko New

If you loose your concentration or your energy, YES. Yall_Watch_This New

	We have a local stream that has miles of continuous class 2. We don't call it a three because of it's length, nor do we downgrade rapids because they are short. We simply refer to them as drop pool or continuous. The difficulty rating stays the same. I agree with you Wilko even if there are few eddies.
