Kayak surfing a river was in the fastest you'll ever go "without moving". I kayak and board surf (better at kayaking) and can tell you standing wave are pretty exciting.Quote:

But is their anybody out there that is looking for a new adventure?
Just wondering?

This is very high on the "when I quite my job I'm gonna go there" list.

When I stayed on the north shore i fell in love with the stuff.

River surfing is to surfing, what sucking cock is to eating pussy.
Mr Superstar,
Did you find that out the hard way?

Whoa. I thought I saw Jerry in the whitewater for a second there.Quote:

Keep up the stoke!
:fmicon:
Lunch Counter at the right level can be really silly. saw guys try to surf Kahuna and Kings wave on the Snake but they were not successful.Quote:

the website as been updated with a bunch of videos- www.surfrivers.com
Also check out Surfing magazine july issue for a good river surf feature.

I like it. If no one was willing to try new things, I wouldn't be kitesurfing today. Keep up the good work.
