Snoqaulmie River Flooding: Du Zhu Piao - Chinese Single Bamboo Pole Drifting, Suspended Pole Balancing, and Birling: Ancient Chinese and American Timber versions of Surfing

Aloha Tribe,

Today, in the Pacific NW, the Snoqualmie River is flooding, it's about a foot over flood stage at the moment and should, by the evening, be more than 4 foot above flooding. Naturally, it's a perfect day for practicing Du Zhu Piao (standing on a 6" diameter, 12 to 24 foot long single pole of bamboo) and Birling Driving (riding a log - about 11" in diameter down a river while standing on it as it races through the rapids). Both sports way enhance your surfing, by the way, and, more so, are must knows for any Watergirl.

Bodaciously Stoked,

Lily of the Valley
