Primitive Survival Rating · Full Dossier

The P.S.R. Section

Every paddler who has ever spread their cheeks for the Llano, scored on a 6.00–9.50 scale by a deeply unqualified committee. Each chart plots their year-by-year PSR. The dashed line is their personal average. The Grind giveth, the Grind taketh away.
