5. How are rapids rated for difficulty?

International Scale of River Difficulty

Grade 1 - Easy. Few or no obstructions; fast moving water with riffles; risk to swimmers is slight.

Grade 2 - Novice. Wide clear channels; occasional maneuvering; rocks and medium-sized waves are easily avoided by trained paddlers; risk to swimmers is low; assistance is helpful but rarely needed.

Grade 3 - Intermediate. Rapids with moderate, irregular waves which may be difficult to avoid and capable of swamping a canoe; complex maneuvers in fast current and narrow passages require good boat control; large waves, holes and strainers may be present but are easily avoided; powerful current; scouting advisable; swimmers are unlikely to be injured but assistance may be needed to avoid a long swim.

Grade 4 - Advanced. Intense, powerful rapids; turbulent water; may involve long, unavoidable waves, holes or constricted passages demanding fast maneuvers under pressure; may require "must" moves above dangerous hazards; risk of injury to swimmers in moderate to high; group assistance to swimmers requires practiced skills.

Grade 5 - Expert. Long, obstructed, turbulent rapids; drops may contain very large unavoidable waves, holes or steep congested chutes with complex demanding routes; several of these factors may be combined at the upper level of this class; rescue is extremely difficult; above average rescue skills are essential.

Grade 6 - Almost Impossible. Difficulties
of Class V are carried to the limits of navigability; very dangerous; risks are high and rescue may be impossible; for teams of experts only under favorable conditions.

6
. Do I need to be physically fit?
Participation is required on all of OXBold's trips, you must paddle. You do not need to be an athelete, however a good physical condition is recommended. Lifejacket limitations are a maximum girth of 52". For any medical conditions that may be affected by strenuous activity please consult your doctor. IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE!

7. What do I wear?
Two sets of clothing - One 'Wet' set for the river rafting - long or short sleeved T-shirt; tights; long pant; short pant and anything comfortable. Another 'Dry' set for return. Jeans are not recommended! A pair of shoes that will stay on your feet are recommended. Wetsuit or booties (or both) is an added advantage.

8. What happens if there is bad weather?
Rain: Trips go rain or shine. You are going to get wet anyway so why not enjoy your river trip. Rainy days also provide some of the most beautiful scenery as fog and mist rise off the river.

Lightning: In the event of a locally severe lightning storm, trips may stop and pull over on the bank. Exposure while on the river is at a minimum because of the high ridgelines and trees that surround the river. Trip starts may be delayed if a storm is occuring at the rafting center.

High Water/ Dry: If the water levels on any of the rivers exceeds safe levels or dry, trips may be cancelled or relocated to another river. In the case of a trip cancellation, guests are offered the option to reschedule or receive a full ref
und.


9. What meals are provided and what is for lunch?
Lunch is included in all our rafting trips: Lunch consists of a sandwich, cheese, meat, condiments and fixings, pickles, chips & salsa, fruit, veggies, trail mix, cookies and a drink. (The exact menu varies slightly depending on the trip).

Selangor River includes a BBQ dinner for 2 days 1 night trip. It includes a cookout with hamburgers, hotdogs and grilled chicken.


10. What factors determine the age/weight requirements?

The line has to be drawn somewhere. We have seen kids below the minimums that were perfectly capable and we have seen kids that meet all the minimum requirements, but still are not ready!

The determining factors usually revolve around the likelyhood of a flip or swim and at what age a child listen to and understand instructions. Can the child understand the dangers? Does the child have enough size or body fat to have control of their body in icy water? Can the child rescue themselves or will the parents be so concerned about a young child they put their own health at risk?

Minimum ages and/or weights are usually set by the managing agency who regulates each river. OXBold Sports will not knowingly take an underage person on our trips, we do ask and we do require a signature from a parent signifying proper age. Should you push the limit with your child? No, it is not worth the risk!


11. What does the package rate cover?
Selangor River package rate covered: White water raftting gears (paddle, 'PFD' Life Jacket & helmet), rescue & emergency training and equipment, regeneration food for half way break and end of the run buffet lunch, Rafting guide/technic & service of raft captain and river guides.
