Hi, I'm a riverboarding instructor and owner of Appalachian Riverboard Company.What is riverboarding? It's sort of like bodyboarding meets whitewater.Laying on your stomach on a board made for whitewater, you wear a helmet, wetsuit appropriate for tempature, personal flotation device, leg pads, and fins to experience by being IN instead of on the water.Since you are in the water, you get a more intimate connection with the river.I began riverboarding in 2003 and have been introducing people to how exciting it is since 2004.We also build the boards that we take you out on and plan to introduce them for retail soon .We are based in Asheville, NC and operate on the French Broad river.Since I have a day job in construction while riverboarding grows, we currently offer trips on Saturdays from May - September.Contact us to inquire.
