NO WAY!!!! Deliilah ran the Bluff!? She's my board. I love her. No wonder the run looks easy, Delilah was looking after you bro!
Twiggy you fucking nutter. Kudos, you absolute hero! That's the mother of all squirts in the middle there bro.
just found this....
The Rio Jatun Yaku-Jatun Yacu means BIG RIVER in the local Kichua dialect and is a massive volume river, really wide, full of waves that at high water are disturbingly big- like The Dog Leg section of the Kawarau River Queenstow…
well if Mike Horn can do full frontal...
you love it baa baa!
Nice work hombre, though I would have been happy not seeing your pasty white arse again!!
There are no out fitters that run commercial trips in Ecuador, no body had a clue what i was up to and were pretty interested to see (hence freak show!) . To get on the river and get picked up and all that I had to make friends and influence people!…
Nicely Done!
What area of Ecuador were you in mostly?
(I spent about 3 months there a few years ago, but that was before I'd started Riverboarding)
buen video amigo! Looks like you got some good surfing in - which rivers did you do? Any recommendations on places to stay, rivers to hit, outfitters to go with?
High Lights of my Ecuadorian Riverboarding Expedition
yeah the more i hear about DC the better it sounds. I've just a read a book called "The Last River" by Todd Balf about a group of paddlers from DC going off to run the Tsangpo River and they've all be boating onthe Potomac for years. Sounds great. S…
Vancouver Island has some really excellent surf and one ski resort. There's a beautiful narrow gorge feeding out of a lake at the summit when you cross over the island, coldest water I've ever stuck my pinky toe into. It's been a decade since I've b…
Hey Rochelle,
There is potential for me to be over that way in about 8-10 months time. When is a good time to be in that area? I have a friend who lives in Tacoma, is that a useful destination? I also have a couple of mates on Vancouver island. Is…
Hey Huw,
Yeah man, I'm definitely keen. We can just got and trash the far-flung reaches of europe. Saweetah! Hopefully all those crazy little countries will have the euro by then too, which means no exchange rates to worry about. Woo!....Can we go…
Hey Huw, don't forget northwest Washington and lower BC. TONS to do around here - all classes - plus one of the best standing waves anywhere (Skookumchuck), some rivers yet to be riverboarded... Just go to americanwhitewater.org and check out Washin…

- Delilah would have been missing you, but she's been stolen - by Arno! Now she's just plain scared!
Sounds like you've been having a bloody good time in Ecuador, where's next?

- She's still a beauty. I'm still thankful every day that I get to be guiding for a living. Training course starts on the 28th. Can't wait to have my own crew. Woo! How's the UK treating you? A little bird told me you might be back next year. Is that true?

- That would be pretty sweet, eh! Where have you been working? What are you doing for them? What quals are you doing? SPA, ML and paddling stuff? Good times! I'm considering getting an NZ climbing Quallie when I have the money.
- At 3:34am on October 2, 2009,
- Is that your ML training or assessment? The TYF thing sounds sweet. You've landed on your feet there mate! Loadsa quallies!...I got a recruitment e-mail off of PGL the other day. They want chief instructors...I was almost tempted...Then I though....NO! Haha!

- Alright bruv?
I took out Delilah for a bit of a surf today. I thought she might be getting lonely. Do you mind if I take her out every one in a while over the season? She surfs pretty sweet, eh?

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…
