River Surfing is surfing on waves in rivers. The most common type of river surfing is on Standing Waves. Standing Waves do not change position. These waves are formed by the combination of fast moving water going over a drop or slope and the river bottom contours. The water goes down the slope or drop then comes back up to form the wave.
River Surfers face upstream and the surf boards ride on the face of the wave. To stay on the wave a River Surfer balances gravity pulling them down the face of the wave and the water pushing them downstream. The act of surfing on River Waves is very similar to surfing on Ocean Waves.
River Waves are everywhere! Any place with rivers can have waves. River Waves come in many different shapes and sizes from small mushy piles of white water to permanant barrels that can fit a standing surfer. Board sizes and shapes vary depending on the wave you ride.”
