Joe has mentioned in a few videos he is a "Clackacraft" drift boat fan. Good boats made in OR I believe.

Thanks for this video, never spent any time floating and have an experienced friend who wants to teach me. Watched your video just to be familiar with some of the things he'll be telling me once we get on the water and can actually just starting getting the mechanics down in my mind before I put a hand on an oar! Thanks again, you made it look so easy and all I could think is, I'll be exhausted after 30 strokes. LOL

Hi, excellent video, I would like to know where I can buy the system to handle the anchor with the foot, that shows in the video.
Thank you

Excellent instruction. Learned several handy new tips. I need a new anchor system on mine as well.

Do you have a boat you would like to put it in? If so, NRS Northwest River Supply is a good place for the parts. My boat is a Clackacraft and it comes standard with all of this.

hey what was the reason for the 45 degree angle again?

Less surface area of your boat actually being pushed by the current allows better control of the boat. It isn't just hitting you straight on the side of your boat.

Well as soon as you get beyond 45 degrees, i.e. 90 degrees to the current you have a couple of issues. If you do hit a rock its much more violent because the impact hits the "chine" or edge of the boat. Also, the boat won't slide over the rock, and its more difficult to maintain control because your oar strokes should slow the boat down. The more the boat is oriented straight up and down stream the more options you have to evade obstacles. Please ask more questions if this isn't explanatory enough.

This is great info. I'm a new drift boat owner and appreciate all the safety tips. Thank you. Question unrelated to the video: What are this sunglasses? They seem to offer good wrap-around protection.

Great question. I don't row with them because I constantly am tweaking my stroke and actually like to rotate the oar during the stroke. I like them for anchoring and simply holding the oar straight when I am not rowing so I always know the orientation of the blade.
