Wow, more crazy people! Damn, can't get over how cool this board is. Kevin,
nice pictures man. I'd be there in a flash if i could get some time off from
work. Next chance i get though, i'm gonna check out those carolina rivers and
i'll call ya when i do. I'd never heard of a boardercross before but it sounds
like a helluva lot of fun.

Ross, 
welcome to the group and to southeast riverboarding.  There are some 
good rivers here in North Carolina and in Eastern TN, probably the 
closest to FL and also West Virginia is amazing.  I am behind on trip 
reports from the summer and late fall, but I'll have reports and my 
opinions on some of the rivers around here like the Ocoee, Wilson 
Creek, and the lower Gualey.  
I started out on a bodyboard and I guess I'd still be on one if I 
hadn't found a deal on a ripboard after trying one out.  I guess I'm 
a little partial since later I became a sales rep for ripboard in the 
carolinas.  I still have the board for when a few people want to go 
with me (let them have the ripboards, no need to beat the newbies up 
on the first time-though I think everyone should try it with a 
bodyboard at least once).  And me and a friend usually go with a 
ripboard and a bodyboard and switch off a few times when were playing 
in holes.  I like being able to run creeks with the ripboard and just 
feel more secure doing the big drops, though my friend would rather 
have an ocean bodyboard and doesn't hesitate to run anything (even 
ten foot drops) on the bodyboard.  There are some rivers that have 
enough flow so you can run and not get scraped up on with a 
bodyboard, some that that are runnable if you don't mind scraping 
your knuckles a little bit, and a few like the first mile or two of 
the Ocoee that may very well snap your board (see pictures, but that 
was a cheap board by the way).  Hope you can make it up and try out 
some of the rivers.  Let me know when you want to and I'll see if I 
can meet you.  Kev,  828-461-2152
