Elijah Mack, And A Glimpse Of His River Surfing Quest

Surf in Wyoming. Wy Not?

Jenna — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:32:00 GMT

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!
