Forward motion, headfirst & horizontal to gravity!
Tired, Cranky and I need some white water!!!!!!
The economy hit and I lost my overtime. Had to take a second job at Home Depot. Working 40 at my fulltime and 35 at HD with 14 hours of travel to get there. I NEED A DAY OFF ON THE WATER!!!!!!! I would give my left @#$%* for a day on the water. Working seven days a week for the past 6 months......if it doesn't kill me I will be debt free in about two years. :( Thanks for letting me vent!

Hang in there Rob! I know many people who are either in a similar position, or do not even have 1 job to go to. Whitewater season is around the corner. I hope you can find a few days to get your whitewater fix. I think that , no matter what position you're in, time for yourself is vital right now more than ever. Work hard, and play hard. Find the balance, and life is good :) Debt free is 2 years? That's awesome!

If you're on the East Coast below the Mason Dixon line, close to it, or coming into the area to board, connect with other boarders. For riverboardering, airboarding at Canaan, and whatever else you do at face level. Mid-Atlantics are welcome too.

It looks fun and all, but.... standing up moves my head further from the rocks I'll prolly fall into...and those things aren't cheap!

What I like about them is their ability to ride rivers when they are far too low to riverboard. I do not own one (yet) but I have been looking at the…

Just kidding, it actually looks pretty fun on inflatables in the river, but in the ocean.......? I'll stick with my 6.0 Quad Fish Shortboard.
I'd be happy if people around my parts would quit calling it water boarding. "you been out water boarding lately?" "No, I'm not into torture."
I don't know how often you get this out west.. but in the midwest everyone seems to think stand up paddleboards are riverboards. I constantly have to correct misperceptions about what a riverboard is.
I don't know how much of that is our sport ju…
I saw part of the movie premier "Haymakers" http://www.kayaksession.com/video186.php this weekend in Hood River and they showed the video footage of this. Turns out the kayaker I was with helped film. The lead-in is a maybe 4' wide slide.
