Intex Explorer K2 Inflatable Kayak vs Class IV Rapids (Poudre River, Colorado)

I am always looking for more river run buddies. To meet up for river runs and view white water content, follow the Facebook group:
NCWWI (Northern Colorado White Water Inflatables)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taking the Intex Explorer Inflatable Kayak well out of its recomended use by kayaking the Poudre River (Class III-IV Rapids)

Crux of the run is at the very end:
Mishiwaka Falls (Class IV) at 7:45

Class III-IV rapids included in this video are:
Prelude - 0:10
Three Way Rapid - 0:50
Tunnel Rapid - 1:30
Ding Dong Rock - 3:25
And
The Squeeze - 5:25

Messed up on The Squeeze at 5:25
For a few seconds there I was sure I was about to take a swim

Relevant Notes On The Intex Explorer K2:

To anyone impressed with the performance and durability of this inflatable kayak: I feel I need to warn you that Intex's new model of Explorer K2 is not as sturdy as the old Intex Explorer K2 I used for these videos.

When the design changed over the life span on the IK dropped from 2 years to 2 months (ofcourse this is with heavy use, clearly going outside of what this boat is meant for).

Price did drop to about 50% of what I payed for the old model, making it more affordable. The Explorer K2 should still work well for lakes and Class II/III rivers but I would be weary about attempting the heavy use and class IV rapids seen in this video.
