The BoatSmith Festival

The first annual BoatSmith Whitewater Festival brought boaters from all over Oregon, California, the Northwest, and all over to Gasquet, California. The normally crystal clear waters of the Smith River were raging due to high water winter storms, but that didn’t stop boaters from getting out there after the 2018 BoatSmith party at the Patrick Creek Lodge. Fourth episode of Soul Rafter's 19 rivers in 2019 campaign where Rafting Magazine Ambassador Nick Prete attempts to paddle 19 new rivers in 2019.
