You are going down!

Got 37 minutes on this wave (in my squirt boat) - my arms were dead hams - then got to carry the boat a mile and half back through the woods - fun spot in BC

Hey, no one told me the infamous unstrapped Gman would be involved. Better go run and hide...

That's what I'm talking about! Looks a bit like the Frog on the Thompson. Squirtboaters unite!

Friend of mine held the record for this river wave, about an hours ride total and a bit farther away. River Severn in Wales.

Same here. Went to school at Montana state for two years where I became totally obsessed with creek boating, but now I couldn't even say when I was in my boat last.

It's all really good but now that you mention, it I should sell my kayaks (4!) to make way for all my extra kite gear, surfboards, and twin tips. Just got an SST today!Very Happy

Really, life is way too short to not chase all the wind and waves one can. Thumb's Up

Wales, I really hope to go on a kitesurfari pub tour there some day. With the tidal boars, maybe even get in the kayak or stand up paddle board. I think if I did the stand up paddle I would want a kayak paddle though. Old habits die hard.

Question

Looks like a great place to NOT skimboard. Keep the potato chips at the closed-out shore pound, and let the surfers do their thing at one of the best SURFING waves in the world.
