Body Glove Waves crashes IAAPA

IAAPA 2009 was a blast! There were all sorts of crazy booths and attractions. This video directed by the Coen brothers shows just a glimpse of the action.  No one stepped up to challenge me at finger-surfing so I’m carrying my title into the next trade show. See you there!

Elijah Mack, And A Glimpse Of His River Surfing Quest

A glimpse of Elijah Mack's past ten years of river surfing. You have many more rivers to surf, and people to inspire, Eli!

Surf in Wyoming. Wy Not?

July 10-12, AWM and Body Glove chartered a trip to Jackson Hole to surf the famous Lunch Counter Rapid.  An unusually high CFS in the river allowed for such a late hit on the famous wave.  The river has a lot of power, and a mistake punching the eddy line can land a rider a 1/4 mile downriver.  Eli Mack, Alex Gray, Scott Daley, and Scott Smith put on a clinic at Lunch Counter.  I got really good at hiking treacherous riverbanks with booties on and a surfboard. 
Enjoy the video!

Even kayakers can ride SurfStream...d'oh!

SurfStream's versatility has no limits. From surfboards with fins to kayaks, a deep cushion of water makes a wide variety of wave riding possible!

Check out the scale model at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City, Utah July 21-24.

SurfStream "curing the surfer blues"

It's about the appearance of surfing. It looked just like it and it felt like it once you got enough speed.
