The Mountain Whitewater Descents training manual is written to teach raft guides how to guide whitewater in a professional manner. There is a lot of information published on understanding rivers, rafting equipment and the technical aspects of guiding rafts. This book, however, teaches more than just how to maneuver a boat; it teaches guides how to treat guiding as a professional job. It is important for any guide to have knowledge about natural history, biology and geology of their area as well as have an understanding of the importance of customer service in the whitewater rafting industry. This book will teach guides many different skills that will help them to become more well rounded and professional guides. Professionally Guiding Whitewater is a great supplement to many other whitewater rafting texts that will fill in those blanks concerning how to be a professional guide.
