I ran the lower section with a newbie a couple of weeks ago, and there were at least 30 strainers jutting out into the stream between BZ and Husom. Most looked innocuous, but then on closer inspection, they spanned most of the channels. My guess is…
Yeah, it's in there pretty tight now. You'd need a very big crane to move that thing.
ah! there it is, holy logjam. Docta P was telling me about that he's been up there a few times the last few weeks. The bad thing is that unless you get a HUGE runoff really quick, that thing is going to be there ALL SEASON.
And of course, the envir…

- It's the only event I am able to drive to... so I will be there!! Going to take the day off work Friday; bike to the free bloody mary breakfast for Bike to Work day early, then drive down- should get in the area by 3, enough time for a run. Do you want to be part of the Eddie Flower vertical challenge? Check the events section for details.

- PS I would HOPE there would be demo boards. I think Peter Lamka (Dr P) would know more.

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.

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.
