The current state of river surfing 2014

"So what is ocean surfing? It is an incredible gift. It is the funnest thing in the world. It is the source energy that gives us an opportunity to tap into something unexplainable, something magic.

Here’s the million dollar question: Why is the ocean surfing industry so down on river surfing? Did river surfing take the ocean surfing’s chick?  Did it slash its tires?

A true message from the GOD FATHER of river surfing and he is because he cares . 

 2010 Bjoren Richie Lobs "Keep Surfing"

the movie put it all into perspective as does Flori Kummer landing the kick flip in the river  there is no limit to where river surfing can go as of 2014 as it has become a more accepted form of a sport that surfing inland is taking of like wildfire ,

where  it goes from here relies on those river surfing or the surfing world? I would like to see river surfers decide its future not the surfing world  .I have had mixed response when I say I can see a pro river circuit someday traveling to river waves like the ASP pro tour does in the  surfing world dealing with the elite of the elite of river surfing this is a dream of many and also a concern  amongst some that not to sell out river surfing or to put a leash on a gift horse just  let it run free instead of structuring a  true gift of surfing inland.
