River boarding is a body boarding sport in which the participant is tethered to the shore while the river flows underneath their board. It is physically analogous to water skiing but instead of being pulled through the water, the water flows past the river boarder. Elastic tethers allow for flexibility the location of the river boarder. Fast flowing currents are preferred.

LEASH
There are two main styles of leash, the wrist or bicep. Look for a bodyboard leash that has double swivels, one at either end of the leash cord. Swivels help to stop the leash tangling. Look also for strong Velcro with a strap that doubles back on itself. A strong bodyboard leash is an important part of your kit & loosing your bodyboard can mean loosing your flotation device, the very thing that could get you back to the beach quickly & safely. Never compromise on your leash, go for quality every time.
