This wave is directly downstream from an industrial factory that has released a large amount of slag that contains mercury, lead, and other toxic metals into the river for decades. It has been declared a superfind site as of 2024. Cleanup operations have been starting, but I would be very, very nervous about surfing in that water for at least a generation It pains me to inform you that surfing here is potentially dangerous to your health.

Did the sessions get filmed again this year and will they be put up on YouTube? I am really interested in the leash safety portion of Heiko Heybey‘s presentation. Thanks for the write up.

I even see Surf Anywhere's Neil Egsgard is in the list of speakers. Hi Neil! I hope you are well and doing something fun every day!! I love reading this, so good to read that the stoke for river waves and not toilet bowls continues even though our hope here back in 2017 for putting one on the Spokane River with its huge CFS year-round flow just fell through the cracks of apathy and indifference. Too many hurdles to jump over...and not enough interested people willing to do the leg work. And about that planned last night party, I would advise avoiding putting glasses of beer on the edge of any pool tables, or getting caught up with those damn punching machines! seal morgan N/E Washington State This sounds like a Euro version of the North American ‘Gathering of the Tribe.’ I even see Surf Anywhere’s Neil Egsgard is in the list of speakers.
