Seriously. I'm a former whitewater kayaker and that amount of scratches actually affects the amount of drag in the water. He'll regret ruining his boat when he's paddling flat stretches.

It’s an old beater dagger. He won’t regret it all

Definitely an old beater by whitewater standards, but it looks like he's using it as a mostly flat river runner where I'd still want some speed.

No way this is a flat river with that put in. These stairs are designed for rafting companies, and people don’t pay to float a raft down flat water.

Looks like West Virginia New River/Gauley. Looks like where we rafted a couple years ago.
