Is it possible to surf the San Juan Rapids on the Lower American River in Sacramento?
I was to take my body board out and play in the rapids but don’t know if there is a big enough surf wave.
I have only done relatively tame whitewater rafting. But I have done a bunch of canoing. I know that when the water is running over rapids, it’s because of shallow rock formations that can rip the bottom out of a canoe. I can just imagine what it would do to a guy on a Boogie board. But, nobody lives forever, and if it REAL fun, right up until it gets you, who am I to discourage anyone.
