Gore and tunnel rapids, 1150cfs.
Good to see others are getting to "safety board".
I've heard a lot about this river. Great to see some riverboard action on it!!
I love slow-mo ;) Tear it up!
It's fast, cold and the rocks are sharp. Definitely one of the essential V runs in Colorado.
Wow, I like how Gore rapid has so many slots to run with some pressure to hit the desired one. Reminds me of the Upper Yough on steroids.
Way to go man, that is a beautiful rapid & lots of water pouring through there!
What is the rest of the river like?

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

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…
