"This is Xtreme."

  The rafting guide had ducked the river tour into a spit of earth on an island that had been worn into a ramp.  A man not really dressed for rafting wrung out his dress pants.  An observer noticed, (i)bulge in pocket, no bulge at island stop(i). 

  "It has to do with weight.  So much rain adds so much weight to our gear." 

  "And persons," another person tried to wring out clothing. 

  "Probably too many variables for it to ever be an Olympic sport." 

  "Then how do people live?" 

  "We keep it to friendly competition on this side." 

  "Right, it's not legal in our country to lethally eliminate competition." 

  "Someone's carved out a fire pit." 

  "Sandwiches anyone?" Someone else held up a grocery bag dripping water like it was a solar shower.
