River Surfing

Went river surfing today in shotover river again (pictured in previous post). Was just Daniel and myself this time, we seem to be the only two "well hard" ones. This involved riding a body board down the rapids. Was great fun! I think it was definitely better than white water rafting because you spend the whole time right in the water! The coolest part had to be surfing the stationary waves. Basically in the rapids you find these waves that form backwards as the water flows down the river. So if you ride down the river backwards and kick REALLY hard you can get stuck in this stationary wave. AWESOME DUDE!
