The viking Longship was unique in its design that it was able to actually bend. It was very flexible, and so storms poised much less a problem than to other ships. Another great feature of the longships was that they had flat bottoms, and so the risk of crashing against rocks was greatly reduced. So the Norse were able to ride out most storms.

Why did viking longboats travel fast?

Why did vikings do what they did?
Norse is a term used to coin the predominant culture, language and mythology of Scandinavians in pre-Christian times. This period of Norse culture largely coincides with the Viking era, when Scandinavians excelled in ship building and both raided and traded in Europe by help of their innovative and superior longship technology. The name "Viking" has several interpretations, but most probably it´s connected to the Norse (and also modern Norwegian) word "Vik" which means "bay" or "fjord". When travelling by ship to Europe and elsewhere, men went into "Viking". So originally "Viking" is an act, not the name of a people - only men who travelled by ship did Viking.

How did vikings get their boats up rivers?
Viking ships allowed vikings to travel far afield from their Scandinavian homeland. You can see reasons they may have wanted to do this here: In the Wikipedia article, under viking expansion, the reasons that their boats were so effective are detailed in this part of the article: "There were two distinct classes of Viking ships: the 'longship' (sometimes erroneously called "drakkar", a corruption of "dragon" in Norse) and the 'knarr'. The longship, intended for warfare and exploration, was designed for speed and agility, and was equipped with oars to complement the sail as well as making it able to navigate independently of the wind. The longship had a long and narrow hull, as well as a shallow draft, in order to facilitate landings and troop deployments in shallow water. The knarr was a dedicated merchant vessel designed to carry cargo. It was designed with a broader hull, deeper draft and limited number of oars (used primarily to maneuver in harbors and similar situations). One Viking innovation was the 'beitass', a spar mounted to the sail that allowed their ships to sail effectively against the wind.[20]" I found this quotation in the Wikipedia article, under "ships".
