River Surfing

And now, a truly light-as-a-feather post: check out these geese “surfing” at Glenwood Whitewater Park. They’re Canadian Geese, apparently — don’t they make you want to go grab your wet suit and join in on the fun?

The Colorado River is very swollen this ear due to incredible amounts of rain this winter. Surfing the river’s breaks aren’t just for the birds — they’re for people too! If you plan to be in Colorado this summer, check out the Colorado River Surfing Association. They prove that you don’t have to be anywhere near the ocean in order to catch a wave!

When I hear “surfing,” I usually think of Hawaii or California. I’m happy to have a new image in my head now, thanks to this great video shot at Glenwood Springs Whitewater Park.
