I've rafted that river with the same guide service.

when we went they intentionally threw us out the boat. It was when you get in the eddy and paddle back up stream into the class 4. I was front right and went face first into rapid, flipped out spun around under water a few times and popped up 50 yds down in the eddy.

Yeah, they did that to some dude in our group. He tried like hell to swim back upstream to the boat he was in. Poor guy fought it for a long time before he gave up and drifted downstream to one of the other boats.
