"Well, it's a wee bit different in that there's no swimming involved, really. That's one of the reasons I love riverboarding, I love swimming, being IN the water. This is more of a surface sport. I would not be opposed to the sport…"

"This is just a river board, lets not complicate things with new names. Just like in surfing where you have long boards & short boards, lets not reinvent something that is already amazing..."

It is a long wide 2 part wave surfing board with BMX handle bars on the front for standing. I haven't settled on how it will flex between the front and back…"
J. Young replied to Adam Masters's discussion Hybrid riverboards/ Anybody out there building boards?"Hugely huge, to be exact. I spend, at a guess, 70-80% of my time on a board hand paddling. The only time I'm not hand paddling is when I have to hang onto the board instead."
Kevin Yount replied to Adam Masters's discussion Hybrid riverboards/ Anybody out there building boards?"Look forward to seeing what you come up with as far as a happy medium in length and finding a design that will plane well yet be buoyant. The need to be able to both kick and hand paddle is huge."
Adam Masters replied to Adam Masters's discussion Hybrid riverboards/ Anybody out there building boards?"I used some kind of board in 1990 on the payette river in Idaho...plastic with metal handles. With a guy named Jon Wasson. I was basically still in diapers, so I don't have a vivid memory. Haven't checked out any modern…"

Adam Masters commented on Al Heim's blog post Anyone hear of or used a Bellyak?"Thanks Josh...I hope passion and the pursuit of fun pulls through! I've certainly spent enough money developing it so far. Al...I'd love to go Sunday, but have a trip planned on the French Broad. I looked at the release schedule for…"
Josh Galt replied to Adam Masters's discussion Hybrid riverboards/ Anybody out there building boards?""Curious if anyone has ever built something that can be kicked and hand paddled at the same time."
Adam which types of riverboards / hydrospeeds have you used? Pretty much all of them can be. Brian J even says he spends most his time…"
Adam Masters commented on Al Heim's blog post Anyone hear of or used a Bellyak?"Thanks for the feedback! I've been also calling it bodyboating, although everyone who's tried it around here likes bellyak. Hmmm....squirt boating used to be called aquabatics for a short while, and that didn't…"
Adam Masters replied to Adam Masters's discussion Hybrid riverboards/ Anybody out there building boards?"I've been building my own boats for the past year or so using 2lb density A/B foam, which i've used to cast from the inside of old kayaks (to get a hull shape to start with) and then shaping the resulting plug. Seems it could be a great…"
