Homemade River Wave

Building your own river wave isn’t exactly the easiest thing you could do. In this video, two brothers and a friend show how to create your own river wave by simply dropping a self-made ramp into the river.

Can’t wait till spring to build a bigger one!

This is definitely a promising approach to build a river wave in your backyard. Anyone fancy fine-tuning this idea and giving it a go? Listen to Daniel, one of the wave builders: “We built a river wave in a small river here in northern Sweden this fall, was so stoked that it worked so well! Can’t wait till spring to build a bigger one!”

Börny was forced to surf the river Mur in Graz / Austria for the first time in 2010 (by PhilK) during the time he made a movie called 'murtreiben' about the local riversurfing scene (sounds very similar to PhilK's story). Since then he decided to surf rivers instead of making movies. And now there is Riverbreak!

    This video scares me. The outer rope seems like it’s a foot entrapment waiting to happen.

      Definitely worth some thought when building the next one
