Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.
Looking for a junker surfboard.....
We have a creek by my place that after a good rain would be loads of fun. Sure, the fact that it's runoff from the streets means I better wear hip
waders but still. I'm seriously gonna do this this summer - I'll get video. Even if I use the plyboard or the F-One.
It won't be pure surf - I'll have to use a rope but I guarantee I'll be smiling from ear to ear. Thought I'd share this bit from the Kananaskis in
Southern Alberta.

waders are a bad idea. put a wet suit on. lots of bad things happen w/ waders and fast water.

We have a creek in our neighborhood too, and our neighbors kids have done that,... and other stupid stuff.

Dude! All you need is a skim board! Sweet. Was wondering if I'd find a span suitable for the F-One.
(Were those your neighbors?)

That creek goes through my backyard, and the spot they were creek surfing is where it passes under they road into the neighborhood about 3 or 4 houses
down from us. That year we had crazy rain and flooding. The creek came halfway up into my backyard and I took my canoe out and canoed in the back
yard.
