Heres the standing wave I was talking about from Idaho. This place is called the gutter and I was trying to get a contest on this standing wave. I think it would be sick. I wanted to try a kickflip so badly, but I didnt have shoes on I was affriad of ripping my toes off on the plastic pipes underneath.

Ive always wondered if somethig like that was possible, thats sooo sweet. was it a man made river or what?post some more pics if u gotem please!

lol this could be a new sport, kinda how wakeboarding evolved into wakeskating, wakeskating will evolve into standing-waving Laughing

This is in the mountains in Tahiti, close to where they shot the wallride in Pull. We couldn't get a ski down to have someone transfer down from that thing.

When we get a lot of rains in january or so I'll need to check it again to see if it can be riden as a standing wave on the middle level.

And that place is like in the middle of the raw mountains

The standing wave that Im riding there is a dam runoff. There is a damn on the other side of the fence that would be a super sick gap. Like a 10 ft drop and straight water to water no gaps..I actually rode a standing wave in the snake river that was fricken crazy, like a waist high rapid while dodging white water rafting tours. Im hopefully going back next year for another demo and this time I will be using my skate instead of my skim. I will try and find some other pics

We want to hit it as soon as we can get a winch Twisted Evil

It is deep enough to ride at the top level and it goes way back too so you could even get to wallride the sides of the top part hehe

Then I think you need to gap the whole thing ^^

That's sweet dude. I live in a farm town so there is just tons of canals all around my town so my friends and I tried so many of them to see if we could wakeskate but couldnt find one with a strong enough current but then one day my friend got cought up in a spillway and almost drowned. It was scary but anyways that is a sweet place I want to find a spot like that.
