Dec 24, 2009 - Actually the short board he borrowed from the guy who helped him get in the wave is great for surfing this river wave. That guy rips on that board. The green 'long board' is tougher to turn on such a narrow channel but gives you more speed to stay in the wave. An ideal shape for a beginner on this wave is a short, fat fish. Either way, this clip shows how different river surfing is from ocean surfing.

Dec 24, 2009 - While this is totally different than ocean surfing, it is certainly surfing and there is no place like it in the world where you can work on your balance and turns as a beginner. I think of it as training for the ocean. But there are guys that surf here that can carve and bust 360s and aerials as if it were an ocean wave.

Dec 24, 2009 - In the end I decided to try and make one similar, check it out, I think I like it more than the one he's riding. Although I havent had chance to ride it yet. Add flickr,dotcom to the start of this /photos/36062242@N02/3990482440/in/photostream/

Dec 24, 2009 - nice boards. The white racing stripes really pop off of the green. How do they ride?
