Which spots are suitable for me?
You can bungee surf in any river that is wide enough (min. 20m), deep enough (waist high is enough) and has enough river speed. The more water flow, the better. However, our ropes can also be surfed at low water flow. Make sure there are no obstacles, such as rocks or logs, in your path. Also check if bungee surfing is allowed at your chosen spot. Don't surf in a swim zone or nature reserve. Don't surf at high tide as the river usually has a lot of floating debris and you could easily injure yourself.
What are the biggest dangers in bungee surfing?
Probably the biggest danger in bungee surfing is that you get caught in the rope or the handle. The current can push you under the water surface (this happens very, very rarely). However, you should always surf WITHOUT a board leash. If you still get caught in the rope or the handle, this can quickly become dangerous, as you cannot reach your feet due to the water current (even though you may think this).
Now one of your fellow surfers must immediately swim to you with a rope cutter and cut the static rope. At the same time, another surfer on the bridge should cut the rope loop at the attachment point. Double is better, so always have two rope cutters on site and never surf with less than three. If the Bungee rope floats awayYou can replace this, but not your life. Therefore, if someone is surfing, always keep him or her in sight, reacting quickly can save lives.
Also, never let go of your SEPORSURF Rope under tension, otherwise it will spiral back at high speed and swimmers and nearby boats can be seriously injured. If you fall off the surfboard, hold on to the handle and let the rope relax. Then release the handle as deep as possible in the water so that it has minimal retraction. Before releasing, make sure that no one (swimmers, boats) is in the way. Nähe befindet. After that, you have all the time in the world to swim after your surfboard.
