New Move: The WAVE MONKEY!!! by Will Richardson | Mar 30, 2009 | 2010 Star, Classic Stars, WhitewaterBy Stephen Wright It all started with EJ’s idea in the eddy next to Brave Wave. He wanted to try a cross-bow blunt into a mcnasty on a wave. I was skeptical (It sounded like a good way to cause my shoulder to leave the rest of my body)–it sounded painful...
