Finger rafting

Finger rafting is a technique used in whitewater rafting, typically to enhance stability and safety during challenging river maneuvers. It involves passengers (rafters) placing their hands in a "fingering" position, gripping the sides or edges of the raft. This creates a connection between the raft and the paddlers, allowing for better control and transfer of energy when navigating through rapids or rough water. The technique can be particularly helpful in situations where team coordination is crucial for maintaining balance and speed.
