Riverboarding - also known as Bungee Surfing is the only sport that has ever been invented in Idaho. This Idaho born sport has been practiced on rivers all over the world. Riverboarders ride small surfboards on rivers, shooting upstream at 30+ mph. No boat or motor. Riverboarders use the river current to stretch a 20 foot long bungee cord to about 200 feet, then get sling shotted upstream for a ride that is longer and faster than the average ocean surfing ride. Good riders can do all kinds of Skateboarding tricks once shooting upstream.
