World First Tandem Whitewater Surf Goes Down on Colorado River

 

created at: 2010/06/08

Just a few days ago, I included whitewater paddleboarding on a list of up-in-coming adventure sports, and then I came across a unique accomplishment in the sport: the world's first tandem surf. Why two people would want to share a surfboard in the middle of a swelling rapid is beyond me--especially since they end up looking like they're doing ice dancing or some other lame finesse sport in the pictures--but Kalani Vierra and Jen Koki did it. The feat comes out much more impressive in the video, where you can see the water swirling and crashing around them. Check it:
