River Surfing the Lunch Counter Rapids

Pro ripper Alex Gray, VP of Marketing Scott Daley, Veteran River Surfer Elijah Mack and our BG Entertainment crew headed out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to check out the Lunch Counter Rapids. Eli has been talking our ear off about river surfing so Body Glove figured it was time to check it out. Basically it's a standing wave that never ends, but when it kicks you out you'll travel a half-mile down the river and have to paddle out. The Lunch Counter Rapids are a favorite of white water rapid tourists (as you'll see in the pics) and a new favorite of our's. The guys had a great time, are a little sore, but got some great footage. Check out the video and let us know what you think of river surfing. Check out the video on bodyglove.com

*****River surfing should NEVER be attempted without the proper USCGA life vests. The people in this video are trained professional athletes with water rescue personnel on hand.****
