Looks like a way better wave than the exhaust/engine surfing i've done. I've kayak surfed waves like that and its such a trip to be relatively stationary, yet moving so fast...kind of like opening the car door at 35mph and looking at the ground.

Looks sick. Anyone have the info for best CFS for surfing and the guage location.

Ocean and river waves are very similar for being completely different. With an ocean wave that has not broke the energy pulse moves forward while the water molecules stay in the same place ( they do bob up and down). In a river the water flows down and the wave stays in the same place. In either case, the mechanics of catching and riding the wave are the same. I expected that surfer to flail at first, but he ripped it up. I am a kayaker who has surfed only a few times, so I can appreciate his skills.

Here's the guage:

It's about 2 miles upstream from Lunch Counter. I'm not a surfer myself, but I'm a boater on the Snake, and that wave is best around 8000-11000cfs. At that stage, there are surfers out there daily. Saw some as low as 6000, but the wave is smaller at that level.
