What to expect
Experience river surfing, the fastest growing river sport in the Midwest, at Cedar Falls’ brand new Gateway River Park! Learn the principles of river safety, basic surf techniques and how to read eddylines, then progress to successfully body surfing the waves in a single class. Unlike ocean surfing, the river’s constant waves allow you to continually practice and refine your skills without having to wait for the next wave.
Taught by experienced guides from CrawDaddy Outdoors, this class features a small student-to-teacher ratio for plenty of hands-on instruction and time to play in the river!
