Charl van Rensburg left a comment for Rob S"Hi Rob,
I see you posted your question a while back already. My apologies for only replying to you now...
Not sure what riverboard you are interested in, but if you are considering a Fluid Anvil, you would be able to purchase it in the UK.
Let me…"
"pretty cool to read everyones perspectives on this issue. i agree about everything that you are all saying, especially about catching eddies and waves. i love the feeling of 'grabbing' the eddy water with my hands and pulling…"
Phillip Kirkman replied to Charl van Rensburg's discussion Hand-paddling a Riverboard..."I usually hand paddle to grab an eddy after a rapid or to save my legs in flat water. For me, the extra power isn't worth having the board come out from under me. The Fluid still allows for hand paddling, not quite as easy as a foam…"
martyStecher martystecher replied to Charl van Rensburg's discussion Hand-paddling a Riverboard..."Hey Carl, I went out boarding for several hours after my first post, and was able to think about your question while in the water.

I get out most often by…"
Charl van Rensburg replied to Charl van Rensburg's discussion Hand-paddling a Riverboard..."Hey Guys, thanks for the feedback and insights you've shared. I dont hand-paddle on rivers at all, so its been interesting for me to try figure out why this is. Especially since I have been bodyboarding and bodysurfing for almost 30…"
Alex Koutzoukis replied to Charl van Rensburg's discussion Hand-paddling a Riverboard..."I hand paddle in short bursts and alternate between kicking and hand paddling on flatwater.
I also riverboard without fins (so I can stand up surf)- thats when hand paddling is really useful."

It will be available through Fluid Kayaks' Distribution network internationally (USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan). Pricing is likely to be very competitive with all the other Riverboard / Hydrospeed boards…

This week has been an exciting one for me…
We have some friends and their families visiting here from France. I first met Raphael over the Internet about 7 or 8 years ago in his capacity as President of RIPH , the International Governing Body for the Sport of Hydrospeeding / Riverboarding, which I took up in 2001.
Raphael was tireless in the assistance he gave me to get started with a sport which, it turned out, I was the first person to…

POURBAIX said… - Hi Charl,
Happy new year from Magali and me!
We are under the snow in Marseille ! The first time since 20 years! In consequence, it's the black out in the city since yesterday : no buses, no subway, the airport is closed and nobody works because the roads are closed !
(In Canada everything is OK with 2 meters of snow, but here with only 25 centimeters all is out!)
If everything is OK with the postal service, you will receive in 1 or 2 weeks a postal card from us for the happy new year.
Since our worldtrip comeback, Magali is in charge of the South Region of France for her job (microcredit for the small entrepreneuship). She works a lot.
For me, it's not so easy because I was obliged to stop my job in Corsica to join Magali in Marseille. I'm currently loooking for opportunities in Africa for a job as consultant in an NGO or something like that...but it's not so easy.
And you? Is Facelevel.com a professionnal activity or just a private hobby?
Kiss all the family for us.
Thibault & Magali.

Last week I meet in Marseille a guy that you meet in Corsica. He's name is Nicolas (nickname : Le Poulpe). He's a hydrospeeder from the Acquaviva team and he's just coming back from Népal.
