Idaho Pioneering a New Extreme Sport
If you are anything like me, you might have tried something in the past called "Riverboarding". Riverboarding traditionally consists of three main elements. A board, a rope, and of course a river. We used to go to a bridge in Hailey and tie up an old rope, then extend that rope to either an old wake board or just a piece of ply wood. We would then try to surf on it for hours. If you could stay up for more than a minute you were doing pretty good. Well, all that is about to change. A new company based in Idaho promises to change the face of Riverboarding forever. Their name is Banshee Riverboards, and they have set up a sweet system for surfing the rivers. The best thing about it is it doesn't require gas or a boat to work! The system is a board attached to a high quality bungee. Check out their site for more information and check out this great video to see the product in action. I'll see you on the rivers this summer!!
