That looks like our very own Harv. It's less than a hundred feet from his office.

See FIBArk Salida for the river fest thats goin on in background.

I've done it on the methow.

big "kickboards" with handles and a hard plastic bottom.

you wear fins. It's tiring.

But...not room for beer.

If you can find a nice roller action continous wave....fun.

No, it's on small surfboards, you don't wear fins...(it would be hard to do kickflips, shove-its, and ollies with fins...)

That's a cool idea.

I've done a sort of redneck river boarding in which one ties off to a tree and uses a piece of plywood, or whatever is readily available to surf a standing wave, or plane on the current if it's fast enough.

It usually results in swallowed water, many abrasions and a fun 30 second ride or two

I watched some guys hitting it at FIBark last year. It looked like a hoot. The amount of energy loaded up by putting the full board to the current & stretching out the bungie is amazing. Those guys just came ripping quite a distance upstream when they flipped the board into planing position...

that picture on the homepage is from right downstream of my office. but I have never tried one of these Banshee Boards.

We did a lot of board surfing in standing waves last summer. that was my tr. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ht=river+waves

i do think these banshee boards look super fun. especially in a flatter river, with current, but little whitewater. I am going to try it this summer once things get low.....in, like, october...
