Idiots. I saw people jet skiing in a flooded Russian River one storm. Logs rushing past, jamming under bridges, etc. Then they expect rescue services to rescue them.

I will do a lot of dumb things but, surfing amidst broken up redwood trees is way to much for me.

Still, hats off....Dorks

One day it was pouring rain all day. Probably 3-4 inches. Driving down the road, I crossed a small river and saw two guys putting their whitewater kayaks on their truck.

I’ll bet they had a blast. I’ve done the same river 2-3 days after a storm and was scared.

Bah, that's not river surfing.

This is river surfing the Red Cedar as it flows through the campus of Michigan State University.

That’s just stupid and reckless. A river is one thing, storm runoff is another.

Hey Nick...why are you still here?

You hate Trump. We get it.

Your hatred will not be forgotten.

I’ve hiked up this creek as a kid. It’s not nearly as harrowing as it might look. Steamer Lane (Santa Cruz) on a mild summer day is more hazardous. These creek surfers’ biggest risk would be bacteria infection from the pollution. I hope they didn’t have any open cuts. Now that would be dangerous.
