anks for the wave report Josh How did you get into river surfing -Josh : I started out in the ocean Body Boarding. You can never get out to the ocean very often living in Sac It is a 2-3 hour drive and gets expensive if I go often. So when swimming in the rapids one day I saw a kayaker on a river wave doing all sorts of freestyle tricks. I figured we could do this on our boards! And we did it... RSM:What type surfboards do you surf in the river .Josh: I use Morey & BZ foam Body Boards & the boards I built out of fiberglass & epoxy they are all Body Boards as well. I have a Surf Board but it doesn't perform well in river current . The plan is to build a river surfboard strong enough to take a river beating and buoyant enough to stand on. RSM:That is a good plan you tear it up on that shorty body board  way sick style shorty boards  rule strong ones at that ! that wave is sick you are surfing have you tried stand up paddling in the river and waves yet .

Josh: I would like to stand up paddle surf it has become a goal of mine . I have always liked riding Body Boards I like the versatility of riding drop knee or prone. I guess you could say I just want to surf any way possible and use what works best at that given time.

RSM:You have been surfing over twelve years....a stupid question ,do you surf in Cali and what is it that has driven you to surf rivers you are truly a pioneer. cheers to the California way the American River way .
