RIVER S.U.P.
For as many know the extra bonus paddling is you get the speeder you need all ready in position to move about the wave what you can get into are smaller river waves river surfboards can not surf yet as to board design and flotation .So 4 inches to 3feet the surf is on in 12 inches of water even on the river .Higher flows offer a wild roller coaster ride on any river hold on if you canyon creaking SUP is like miss the rocks pinball game but worth every stoke and bang or just plain surfing the river waves as long as you can .
