Missoula Surfing Forecast: Riverboard Montana

HHave you ever gone for a four mile swim?..twelve mile swim?.. A twenty mile swim? When you riverboard the Alberton Gorge with Montana River Guides the powerful Clark Fork River carries you through a spectacular canyon and plenty of thrilling rapids--and you'll experience Montana in a way few people ever have.

And here's a secret--Riverboarding involves much more than just adrenaline and whitewater (tho those are the ingredients we give the most attention). You'll appreciate the relaxing Class I water between rapids and discover an incredible way to share an adventure with friends. Sometimes face-level with a family of otters is just as much of an adventure as being face-level with a school bus sized wave. In any case, we have had more fun with riverboarding with our friends and guides over the years than we can begin to express. Our guests come from all over the world to experience the whitewater of the Alberton Gorge where we've introduced thousands of people to the thrill of riverboarding. Our mission is to help you experience the ultimate whitewater thrill. Come catch a mountain wave and surf Montana with us! 2012 is going to be our best surf season yet.
