That is awesome!!! Jealous that Colorado has so many whitewater parks!
I know someone who made a c-1 playboat cube entirely out of ethafoam (sp?). Make the hull THICK as foam doesn't have the torsional rigidity of pvc bladders, so it will want to wrap around rocks in a big way. You may want to do something to make the…
True, but it's pretty much flat. The surface area of those things are huge, and with the thin profile, they're really cumbersome in and out of the water. Awesome rescue sleds though.
Here's one I've been working on. A hydrospeed style rescue board. All the layers except the top were molded using the standard heat gun method. The top layer was epoxied on. The handles all have carbon fiber stringers holding them in place. The hull…
Wow, you guys are making some sick boards.
Big Sur on the Colorado is the stuff of legend, but it only comes in about once every 10 years.
I'd take the old kneeboard or bodyboard out to surf once in a while long before I knew the sport existed. I'd thought "what if" a few times when it came to doing runs on a board but never acted on it. Then 4 years ago I saw someone post about riverb…
Ripboard has been on the local morning news a couple of times in Denver, and RMR is popular as well. So quite few active boaters have seen riverboards by now. What they're not used to seeing, at least in our neck of the woods, is riverboarders not i…
Ditto. I just missed meeting some of you guys this year, I wish the timing was better. Next summer we'll have A LOT more time to travel and riverboard. And if anyone's coming to CO the welcome mat's always out as long as you don't mind our dogs. Thi…
I have to wear one for rugby but I hate it.. Never wore one on the river and I was also nervous moving to a short board. I was starting to worry I was living on borrowed time. That's great news they're not mandatory "equipment" (sorry).
That's what I'm talkin about! I can't wait to have a hydrospeed that doesn't look homemade.
The shipping for a hydrospeed from Europe would be insane. My brother-in-law wanted me to make a board and ship it from CO to CA. UPS wanted $60 to ship it (he's waiting till we go visit in August lol.) Also wanted wanted to say a huge thanks to Ice…
Shallow rocky runs are about all there are around where I live too. So far my hydrospeed has held up very well (knock on wood). I've had success putting a couple of thick coats of contact cement on the hull to prevent tearing. I think my next projec…
Since I finished making hydrospeeds for me and my wife we haven't used flat boards for anything other than surfing/playpark. I've never tried a ripboard, but a few years ago I road a Prijon sledge. All I could think the whole time was "If this thing…

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.
Welcome to Face Level Debbie,
Like you, I am never too comfortable kayaking as I don't have a bomb-proof roll. In an attempt to make my occasional swims less......exciting, I thought I should kayak with my wetsuit and swim fins on but unfortunately…
Dirty South Regional: New River at New River Gorge

This is simply a gathering of riverboarders in the Southeast with some friendly competition thrown in.
We are keeping this on the down low and calling it a gathering instead of a competition for reasons that the put in and take out are on park land…
Hi Debbie,
Welcome to Team FLI! I am currently a rafter and riverboarder (I started as a raft guide, then got into kayaking, and have been riverboarding for the past 6 or so years). I used to kayak, teach kayak clinics, had 2 boats, and yes I had f…
Wow,
I can't believe you riverboard class 5! I just haven't progressed with whitewater paddling. I'm more comfortable out of my boat, swimming. Though, paddlers will tell you that swimming the river is the most dangerous position to be in.
This I…
Hey Debbie,
I riverboard 90% of the time and kayak the other 10% (or less) nowadays, easy class IV (lower Kern River) is my limit on a kayak, whereas I feel pretty comfortable riverboarding class V rapids.
You will have a lot of fun riverboarding,…
Northeast Riverboarders Unite!!!
Hi
I wanted to say hello. I paddle whitewater, class 2, sea-kayak, and scuba. I found out about riverboarding at the end of last summer. I have been itching to learn ever sense. I am from TN a d I'm not sure its really caught on here. We have had t…
that is an awesome picture! How big is the waterfall behind you?
Hang in there Rob! I know many people who are either in a similar position, or do not even have 1 job to go to. Whitewater season is around the corner. I hope you can find a few days to get your whitewater fix. I think that , no matter what position…
The economy hit and I lost my overtime. Had to take a second job at Home Depot. Working 40 at my fulltime and 35 at HD with 14 hours of travel to get there. I NEED A DAY OFF ON THE WATER!!!!!!! I would give my left @#$%* for a day on the water. Wor…
