River Surfing

[slopestar]

Just got a wave storm soft top quad for river surfing In and around the Denver Metro and surrounding areas. I have river surfed a handful of times on conventional short boards and sups and hope to get a dedicated board made sometime soon but the Costco special is ideal for getting used to riding a standing wave at a low cost and they take a beating.

My last trip to Orange County (August), I was shocked at how many WaveStorms were in the lineup. And people were riding them really well! This was my first trip to Cali in several years. I paddled-out pre-dawn, and by the time I could make people out, I saw a half dozen Storms. I thought, When did Sunset go to the kooks? Then these guys were just ripping. So yeah, the boards can take a hit, but depending on the user, they can be fun.

I see wavestorms in the lineup all of the time, and more often than not: competently ridden by capable surfers. I don't have one but my understanding is that one thing people like about them is that the floaty/flexy nose is pretty forgiving if you are used to riding a shortboard and perling is an issue for you on a longboard. I want to get one just so that I can have a longboard that I don't need to worry about banging up.

Our son Rob, who lives in Nicaragua and surfs every day, uses Wavestorms for Big and Slushy days as well as for teaching our grand daughters now 5 how to surf, he  thinks they are fun and capable sticks !!
