Exploring the mind of a Class V Boater

In this episode Trevor sits down with Joel Wenblad to discuss his recent descent of Yule Creek as well as learn more about the mind of a class V boater. Joel, along with his friend Casey Vandenbroek took on a massive unrun section of river near Marble, Colorado. We wanted to learn more about what drives an extreme athlete like Joel to take on these expeditions.

• What kind of planning, preparation, and thinking goes into running some of the steepest and most difficult rapids?

• Why would rafters want to take this type of rafting trip on, and what do they do to prepare for these adventures physically and mentally?

Find out in this interview with Joel. Don't forget to send Joel and Casey some love on social media.
