[Bordy77]

im totally gonna try this on my fish board

[ryanwfaas]

I would find you here randomly on you tube Jonathan

[JonathanReichert]

Hey there, nope we live in the tri-cities. Maple Ridge, Poco... can only surf chilliwack a couple days a year if the water level is correct. Thanks for watching!

[joegadd]

you guys live in chilliwack? im not that far from you guys.

[nerkanuts]

Does Alberta Dave now live in the interior?

As worked with a guy at ubc who lived for this!

[JonathanReichert]

@nerkanuts yea pretty sure he's east BC now.

amazing video I've never even heard of river surfing just happened to search chilliwack to see what I would find and boom some dude is surfing in the river that I live a min away from. cool video man

[JonathanReichert]

@3rdBojangles Thanks for watching!

[terryschutte]

dude that is awesome!!!! dangerous, but awesome :D

[JonathanReichert]

@terryschutte yea it's a great time. No danger issues so far. You just need to not use a leash, and no life jacket. Helmets are a must. It's one of the easiest river surfing exits there is. The only danger is if you hit your own board, and thats just a general surfing danger anyhow!

vedder river?

[JonathanReichert]

@dustin12012 Chilliwack river, just as the title suggests ;-)

People have died from this river

[JonathanReichert]

people also die from smoking. Does that stop them?

The chances of me getting struck by lighting are higher than the chances of me die'ing in this river.

[mikeflor2009]

wow nice move jonathan very enjoyable in surfing..i cant wait to be in chilliwack..il gonna fly from philippines to chilliwack soon and live there for good...

as far as any body fishing at the same time u guys are rippin

seems pretty easy to so that u guys need the river at a high level to get that wave to play in

i know that spot very well if the water is that high no point in fishing to tough there are better spots to fish in high water

that looks like alot of fun lets see if u can catch a spring while u hang ten?

[monarch1957]

I tried that once on the Bow river in Calgary hard to do.

[StoneRebar]

I lived & worked in that area for 7 years, I cant believe I never did that... "sh%#"

[BCfisherman]

a good way to get yourself killed

[JonathanReichert]

Not if you take the proper safety precautions. You only live once.

[JonathanReichert]

Your probably one of the angry fisherman who also fish this spot and are against progressive sports development?

[bugpumper]

live a little man!! there's no way to fish that unless you floss, so.. surf.

[roscman]

nice one john!!  next time maybe a soundtrack ? (and a little lower river level!)

[JonathanReichert]

cool idea thanks!
