Hello guys,
as you know I have an SUP school and rental in Bali, Indonesia..
I'm now really interested in expanding in river white water SUPPING.
Do you think it will become popular? How many of you would give it a go if you have the opportunity?
We have a nice river where they are already doing allot of commercial rafting, is just a level 2 but quite nice and very scenic. I think any guys that can SUP in wave should be able to make it in this river!!!
What do you think?
Is it worth a try?

Hey Janki,

I will be bringing the Family over your way next year to try out some waves!

Can you PM me some ideas on Accom etc!

Kristi and I will want a few Kook waves to play about on and definitely up for the river thing! I am a little concerned about writing of a board or 2 on the rocks in the river though!

Hello guys,
this is just an idea for now... If it happen will be still quite sometime!!
I'm trying to see what is the feedback...
I really want to try SUPR - Stand Up Paddle Rafting...
Or any idea of what name we can give to this new discipline?
If you need any info just go to my web site and send me an e-mail.

It sounds fun and I think i would try it, at least once.

It looks like it would be for expert riders only though. If its your first time SUP you are never going to make it down rapids

Inflatable boards would probably be better

Yes of course it would be expert only.
The river I have in mind is used for commercial white water rafting and there are about 1000 raft going downstream every day..
Is only a level 2 but with beautiful scenery.

What name we should give to this new discipline?
SUPR - Stand Up Paddle Rafting!!!!
