Riverboarding - an extreme, adrenaline rush pictured above in US Air magazine is similar to bodyboarding. Imagine surfing a whitewater rapid, head first as the river surges beneath you. River boarding is called sledging in New Zealand, whitewater swimming by others and hydrofoil or hydrospeed in Europe. Whatever you call it - it blows rafting out of the water. A ripboard costs a fraction of a whitewater kayak and takes a lot less time to learn than kayaking

Annoying kayakers since 1999 - RipBoard inc. continues to introduce the public to riverboarding. National Geographic Adventure magazine listed riverboarding as "one of the six sports we'll all be doing in a year." Over the years you may have spotted sledging or riverboarding as most call it on MSN, the Amazing Race, or 9News KUSA reporter Greg Moss taking a riverboarding lesson from founder Shane Bolling; or read an article in the New York Times, Washington Post, Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News, Sunset magazine, 5280 or other media story. Now is the time, get wet - ride a RipBoard!
