Surfing
How about a surf trip to Idaho? Bungee surfing brings the feel of surfing and the tricks of skateboarding to the millions of landlocked people who are not fortunate enough to live near an ocean. Bungee surfers ride a small, thin surfboard on rivers, shooting upstream at 30+ mph. No boat or motor -- Bungee Power!
Facts: The average bungee surfing ride is longer than the average ocean surfing ride. Bungee surfers get four times more rides per hour than ocean surfers.
Good bungee surfers can do all kinds of skateboards tricks. Bungee surfing is harder to learn than ocean surfing. Idaho Excursions will provide you with a competent surf instructor.
