In this clip from the Columbia River, Johnny Heineken shows that you can deliver an incredible performance without a single jump.
The Columbia River in Oregon has always been one of the absolute watersports strongholds in the USA. The strong thermal wind here blows against the current of the river, which firstly makes any upstream running superfluous and secondly creates a steep wave that can be used in a variety of ways.
Johnny Heineken shows in this clip at the spotThe Hatchery what you can do with the river waves. He pumps from wave to wave seemingly effortlessly and shows such fluid manoeuvres and rides that you can enjoy this video from start to finish without a single jump.
Perhaps this clip will be a blessing for all those who are sometimes a little baffled by jumps and freestyle moves.
