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…
No explanation necessary!
Well said, Josh.
Shane McConkey's demise is one of the most vivid reminders that we can't suspend the laws of physics...
The best we can hope for is to bend them a little for a few brief moments of time.
Use that time wisely!!!
The only thing going through my mind while crashing at 65kph last weekend and bouncing across the snow was "AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!" ;)
Sometimes there's no time to think or react. I'm not sure how you'd do it at twice that speed falling the…
I have also heard of this phenomenon, as well as experiencing it for myself (of course not riverboarding :P ). I have been in a couple situations, both parachute related and not, where I have had this occur to me. I won’t go into details, but it is…
Panic when the first recir and dive did absolutely nothing, and then worsening as I was waiting for a rope that was slow in getting thrown (I was a little under the overhang that my safety was standing on), and then really so when the rope slipped t…
Kevin, what was your state of mind as you were being worked? Panic? Calm?
Did you have doubts about making it out of the recirc right then?

It's still sitting in the "can" (post-production). I guess that's pretty typical in Hollywood. Something gets shot and then the production company sits on it until they think the market is ready for release... hopefully before we're grey and wrinkled!

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.

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,…

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…
