This was my first time rafting... An activity my mother planned for us to do. I LOVED it. The activity itself was fantastic, but I feel like the guide we had enhanced the experience tenfold. After observing other boats and guides, I say with confidence that Ziggy is the ideal leader for an enjoyable trip. Assertive and commanding during high energy times, and cool as hell and informative during relaxing moments. I could definitely hang with this dude. Good luck on all future endeavors, Ziggy!
