Western Washington University Web developer and graphic designer Rochelle Parry, an avid riverboarder, aims to get faculty, staff and students involved in riverboarding through the WWU Outdoor Center. Riverboarding is a sport in which participants cruise through river rapids on a small body board.

A weekend excursion has been set up through the Outdoor Center for the first weekend in June. The weekend trip will include rafting as well. For specific information, contact the WWU Outdoor Center at http://outdoor.as.wwu.edu/.

Most of the video depicts a class IV section of river. The Outdoor Center class will be held on a class II-III run, with an opportunity at the put-in for some training and demonstration. Which river is chosen for any OC excursions will be determined by what is flowing the best on the given date.
