My son and what he loves!

This is my step son Galen. The first part is all riverboarding at the park in NC. At 13 years old he had riverboarded The Upper Ocoee, Pigeon, Middle Ocoee, The Lower New, Lower Gauley, and the white water park in Charlotte, NC. Some even say that he may be the youngest to do each of those. I love my kid and can not wait to see him excel more and more at what he loves.

Dirty South Boarders

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.

this was the article I mentioned: http://shanesliquidlogic.blogspot.com/search/label/Versa%20Board 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!

Kind of related, has anyone seen one of these... http://2imagine.net/blogger2009/rapidfire2.html What I like about them is their ability to ride rivers when they are far too low to riverboard. I do not own one (yet) but I have been looking at the…

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."

Riverboarding or "Oh that kind of riverboard"

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…

Rochelle Parry commented on Rochelle Parry's photo 'most unusual'

I saw part of the movie premier "Haymakers" http://www.kayaksession.com/video186.php this weekend in Hood River and they showed the video footage of this. Turns out the kayaker I was with helped film. The lead-in is a maybe 4' wide slide.
