Surfers Riding in the River!

One more from yesterday showing the two out there riding around. The lady didn't seem to be quite as confident about standing up, but seems like kneeling like that would still be fun. Probably what I would prefer.

How do these boards move - are they motorised?

[Diana]

Lovely action shot, such an unusual colour water.

[Babs]

Definitely looks safer to be kneeling.

I'm just not sure about the electronic aspect of this sport. Is it exercise, or do just sit or stand enjoying the fresh air?

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Fascinating looking.

@nickspicsnz @ludwigsdiana @onewing @jamibann @mittens @bkbinthecity Thanks everyone for you comments and faavs. These are battery operated with a 24 pound battery. They said that it would last for about 1.5 to 2.0 hours. It has a propeller that powers the board. You'll see that each of these flolks have a control in their hands which controls the speed. To make it rise, they just have to lean a little bit backwards and to bring it down, lean forward. Those things move pretty fast out there, so you've got to have pretty good balance.
