Awesome stuff. Funny - I was just talking with a friend of mine a couple weeks ago about these crazy plywood-board things that people tie off to the river bank and then ride out across the water. Never thought of taking a surf board out to do the same thing. Might have to find a place to give it a go this summer! Perfect way to spend a hot afternoon.
