SurfNV
After a late night of partying in Sacramento, we packed the wagon up and headed east for the land of hot sun, slot machines, and SurfEnvy: Reno, NV.
We cruised around town looking for the play park, but all we could find was casino after casino. Finally a homeless guy gave us directions to the park, and we quick located the put-in/start of the carnival.
If you’ve never been to Reno then you are missing out on two things:
1. Endless rows of casinos
2. Ridiculous amounts of tuber, swimmers, and rafters going through a play park.
I’m not kidding when I say that we couldn’t get though one full ride in any hole, without being assaulted by somebody riding an inner tube, a lost flip-flop, or an empty beer can. I’ve also never seen so many people enjoying the water, nor as nice of a river park. Reno has invested a ton of money in the park and the features, and have done an awesome job.
On Sunday we held a big WS demo in Hole #3 which was adjacent to an all day concert in the park. One thing that I never got used to was an audience giving a round of applause for a big loop. I mean, yelling and whooping is one thing, but the spectators would actually clap for big tricks.
All in all Reno rocked, and it definitely goes on my list of favorite paddling places.
