Hey Ian, this is Drew Norton, I think I met you at No. 9 a few years back when you borrowed my gear to run the left hand line from memory. I managed to get back to the Zam last October and have also been twice to the Nile in the last 3 years.

- Hey Drew,
Great to have you join Team FLI!
Really cool how the tribe from around the World is gathering (I'm from South Africa). Please invite other Riverboarders / Riversurfers from NZ to also join, and post pics and video!
It'd be great to have you be part of the African Expedition.

- Watsup,
Cheers for the comment on Africa Expedition. Would be great if you could break out of NZ and come hit some of the rivers with us. we will be doing the Zambezi River Multi day section, as well as a first descent on board of the Kafue River. As well as the film educating/promoting riverboarding.
So its a BIG step in the right direction to get the sport on the map, so the more people in on it the better it is for all of us.
CHEERS
IAN

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.
