The fascination of the young at heart and the Rio Grande River go hand in hand.

With Neil and Mike as their guides, the Pojoaque Boys and Girls Club hit the rapids of our half day trip, the Rio Grande River Racecourse. The Club has come back for several years now, knowing a fun time will be had by all. Just click on the link seen directly below.

Oh my gosh! What can I say? If your reading this then you have some connection to New Wave Rafting Co., be it simply curiosity in what we do, maybe you’ve taken a whitewater river trip with us or maybe your in some of my river photos, or maybe you ………….well you get the point. What I’m trying to say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Your participation in New Mexico’s greatest whitewater experience, the Rio Grande, and choosing New Wave Rafting as your outfitter allows me to work on one of the most beautiful rivers in the southwest and eke-out a living at absolutely the greatest job in the world.

Here are a few shots on the final day of the 2009 season.
