John,

I would recommend taking a trip with www.extremenc.com so you can
test out some riverboarding equipment first before buying. They
offer trips on the French Broad river in western NC.

but my back problems got progressively worse so I couldn't spend as
much time in a kayak. I would like to get started riverboarding.
Living in FLA western Carolina & East Tenn are the closest places to
go. Any recommendations as far a equipment, instruction, etc. Any
advise is appreciated.
