is the ocean the only place you can ride
a wave hey welcome to watchmojo.com i’m
your host derek and today we’re going to
discover a bit about river surfing so
tell me what exactly is river surfing
River surfing River surfing is surfing
its exact same thing as regular surfing
except it’s nothing like it wrap your
brain around that one in the ocean what
happens is you have a wave that is
moving towards the beach and when it
hits a shallow area of rock or sand it
then jacks up on itself and gets steep
and it breaks and moves across towards
the coast of each line what happens in
the river is rather than the weight
moving across the water you have the
water moving and it then goes over the
same sort of shelf of reef and then
jacks up on itself that creates a wave
in the ocean once you’re on your board
wave will be moving forward say at 10
miles an hour which means that you’re
moving over the over the water’s surface
at 10 miles an hour and the river the
wave or the water be going over the rock
at 10 miles an hour so while you are
according to a GPS coordinates
stationary you’re still moving over the
water surface at 10 miles now so the
feeling of your board is identical but
the mechanics are pretty different you
can surf for an ala on the river and
when you’re done surfing you’re in the
exact same spot that you were when you
started where’s in the ocean you’d be 10
miles down the beach so words actually
did it originate I don’t know if anybody
really knows where it originated I mean
for sure there was some guy in the 40
somewhere who took his board and
probably dove into a river somewhere in
surf the wave so everybody claims to
being the first surfer river they’re
full of it the first time I saw it was
in France in about 87 or 88 maybe 89
somewhere around there there was this
guy in South of France on the hub you
River and he had this really funky
looking bored and he dove in and stood
up on this way there was about two feet
wide and about three feet tall he stood
there he wobbled like this for five
minutes and then he eventually fell off
his board and that was my first
experience of river surfing and I’ll
adjustment I look stupid
