Here is a list of white-water rivers (class II up to V/VI) that I paddled in
the course of my life. It is a mix of class II-III touring rivers kayaked when I
was a kid with my parents, class II-III white-water rivers (usually lined with
trees and barbed wire) in the Ardennes, Luxembourg, Normany, Britanny, and Wales
that I usually kayak with my father in winter, and more serious white-water
sections all over the world that I kayak with my friends whenever I get the
chance.
