Sometimes the Dream is Cold

Stand Up Paddle Boarding. SUP Winter Trip in Montana. On superbowl Sunday Everett and Sam headed to the Bitterroot river for a Stand Up Paddleboard Trip. We paddled 11' NSP Epoxy boards and tried not to fall in! Normally we would be skiing but we live too close to the river --and the boys are playing basketball. The coaches don't like them skiing during season--but they didn't say anything about paddling. www.montanasurfco.com

Living the Dream

Our owner Bernice grew up on the south shore, the birthplace of surfing. How lucky we are to have family and roots there to visit and reconnect with. Fortunately for us all of our cousins love to surf. We have great love and respect for Hawaii and the locals who share it with us each time we're there. They tolerate our Montana clumsiness on the wave and inspire us with their grace. But we know all that water in Hawaii is directly connected with our rivers in Montana. One of the best ways to experience that connection is on the wave--either in Hawaii or back home in Montana.

Stand Up Surfing in Hawaii


Everett put his stand up surfing skills on some beautiful Hawaiian waves over Christmas. Our Hawaiian cousins always share the wave with us. SUP is a natural progression for us from all of the paddling and surfing we've been doing on Montana Rivers the past 20 years. The Montana Surf Company is going to be bringing the SUP experience to our beautiful Montana Rivers this summer. See you on the river.

Launch With Style, Surf with Grace



Rick and Mike showed up from Spokane with Frank for an afternoon and evening of Surfing with Chapman, Ariel and Jeremy. I had guided a full day earlier and was psyched to see some riverboard veterans and new folks for 4pm trip. We surfed until dark! What a great way to enjoy a September day.

September Surfing: Riverboard Trips in Montana


We've finally hit those premium low water surfing levels that have been arriving in Late July and Early August the past ten years. What an amazing year for riverflows we've had--yahooo! We're still on the river every day --usually we have the river to ourselves along with a few bald eagles, kinfishers, osprey and otters,...it's so quiet down in the canyon, ...more wildlife is coming out. The Gorge is tranquil between surf sessions at Triple, Icebox, Tumbleweed, Resurgulator and Fang.
