I worked for Rios Tropicales on the Pacuare for several months when I lived down there. I was actually a bus/ tourist guide with them since I didn't have any white water experience at the time. I got to raft with them after we got all of the visitor…
Sweet man can you email me your resume / guiding / rescue background bio? josh@facelevel.com
There's not a lot of commercial rafting on Class V, especially technical. It's either big-water IV and V like the Reventazon, or it's one steep creek which…

Riverboard guiding sounds much much more ideal :) i am not set on guiding in any particular region, closest to surf would be ideal, but just to get down there and get work would be more than great.
If rafting I would really like to be on some…
Brian, you sure you don't want to riverboard guide? ;)
I can assist you with getting in with a rafting company or riverboarding - for rafting the competition is pretty solid though it's a good gig and there are a lot of great Tico guides who live h…
We went down there January 2009 and from what I remember Rios Tropicales is the main one (all over Costa Rica). They had quite a few gringo guides, that migrate from US to Costa Rica.
Hey all,I am trying to get a job down in Costa next winter working as a raft guide. I have been guiding for 8 years now with 6 years class V experience.I was wondering if anyone among us has any recommendations as to which companies I should get in…
i was wondering lately, why is there so few of us in the northeast?Is it cuz the water is too cold? Is it cuz there are just not alot of people up there?I dunno, I hope that this summer we can recruit some new people into the sport.what are your t…
that makes sense, with holes u need more surface area for retentiveness, but on waves you need less volume and less surface area to plane on the face. interesting.

We have 2 SUP boards, A Uli 11' and a sevlor. you can get the sevlor at poolcenter.com for about $450 delivered. The newer uli models are light and better shaped. The sevlor is a little more mattress feeling, but has the advantage of removable fins,…

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.
this was the article I mentioned:

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!
I just tell people that I kayak.
Kind of related, has anyone seen one of these... http://2imagine.net/blogger2009/rapidfire2.html
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…
I love that one.
MY!!!!! I almost made this EXACT POST yesterday. It irritates me to no end! Read my blog about it. Look at the date! Two days ago. Too funny!
I think it's because of all the hype SUP'ing has received in the media; people get a little glimpse from so…
Friends Don't Let Friends SUP !!!!!
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.
