The man you are watching is Spencer Lacy, and he is absolutely dominating the Skookumchuck rapids in British Columbia. Spencer explains that even though it looks like it, the wave he is riding is not in a river.
They are not on a river. The current that flows through the narrows changes on schedule with the moon. During the peak flow, a monstrous standing wave forms. I surfed this wave on my stand up paddle board at 2015’s peak flow and it was the best paddling experience of my life.
I dare you to find us a better standup pabbleboarding video!
