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…

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…
Now THATS a fun looking wave, wow!!

It is a summary of American Whitewaters 2007 accident stats, I have not yet been able to find anything newer. It does not give participant numbers.
For some rough figures from he…
Hope someone else can give numbers. Beyond numbers, just remember to remind them that if a rafter falls out of the raft, they only have a helmet and pfd for protection.
We have a buoyant craft, pfd, helmet, protection from the cold, and flippers.
