River surfing opens up a whole new range of possibilities. Standing waves can go forever, and there are some that are stand-up barrels. OK, maybe there’s one that’s a stand-up barrel and when you fall you get throw down a class IV rapid. There are tons of smaller manageable river waves around the world that the landlocked surfers charge.

Here’s a video of Elijah Mack surfing a spot called Skookumchuck Narrows in British Columbia. The first wave looks fun, the second wave, named: “Tubesteak” looks suicidal. Elijah tows in Tubesteak and gets rescued by the boat after he falls before getting washed into a massive whirlpool.

I don’t think they’re going to have worry about crowds up there anytime soon. Any takers?
