Go down the Gauley or some other river and surf your raft a bunch in big holes.  Find a rapid with a safe runout and a big hole and just go for it.

You've never flipped and won't be able to deal with a flip as well as someone who has.  practice, practice, practice.

I am assuming you haven't swam much either, so practice that too....get out of the raft and swim down some friendly twos or threes.
