Bungee Surfing is a new action sport where you ride a small surfboard/skimboard on a river going upstream at speeds of up to 30mph. Riverboards are propelled upstream by a bungee system. The bungee system is a 20 foot section of rubber tubing that is stretched out and then propels the rider upstream. One end of the bungee system is anchored to any stationary, solid object along the side of the river -- Rocks, trees, bushes make good anchors. How does the bungee get stretched out? The rider kneels on the board forcing it under water. Once the board is submerged, the rider then holds the nose of the board up and forces the tail of the board down in the water by standing on the tail. At this point the board is under water and at almost a 90 degree angle to the river surface. The board is now acting like the sail of a boat, but rather than catching air, the board is catching the river current and causing the board and rider to be pushed down stream. Once the bungee system is fully stretched the rider shifts his weight from the tail of the board to the front of the board. When the rider shifts his weight to the front of the board this causes the board to rise to the surface of the water and level out. At this point the bungee starts pulling the rider upstream. Once the bungee is done pulling the board upstream, the board releases from the bungee system. Once you are riding upstream you can carve turns and do all kinds of board tricks, big spins, ollies, shuv-it's, kick flips, etc. (more)

If you only want a bungee, they are $159 - Much less than the Banshee Bungees and last so much longer.

k so i got a banshee bungee and i was wondering what was the quick release system u guys have on ur skimboards like location to attach it. Ive just been using the handle

@dmiketa26 You can't use a Banshee Bungee to Bungee Surf. Banshee Bungee's will give you a slow, short upstream ride. And banshee bungees have a horrible lifespan. We manufacture a bungee that is more powerfull and longer lasting than any other bungee on the market.
