Eileen is visting this weekend so I dragged her River Boarding. If you are un-familiar with riverboards they are a cross between a boogie board and hard kayak. You get a wetsuit, fins, and the board and than throw yourself down the river. I've wanted to do this for years, its very popular in France and New Zealand but the rivers were still too cold when we were in Queenstown last year.
We went on a tour with Cascade Raft which is 40 minutes north of Boise. I don't have any pictures of us in the sexy wetsuits or on the river but the video on their site gives you a great idea. http://www.cascaderaft.com/hydrospeed.asp
The actual ride is not as rough as it looks. Eileen and I agreed that we would like to see them expand it to Class III/IV rivers. On the board you punch right through even the biggest rapids.

Ok, that sounds like a blast. Put that on the list for when we visit.
That looks awesome!
