The River Bugs are here!

Article by

There are less than 50 River Bugs in the world, and Extreme Dreams owns 10 of them!

Extreme Dreams and Nae Limits, who is probably Scotland's most forward thinking outdoor activities provider, have joined forces to bring the Northern Hemisphere River Bugs!

I recently started working with Nae Limits, and I was asked to come up with the next "big thing" for this season. After racking my brain, surfing the net and going through notes I have made in the past, I came up with River Bugs. I had come across them whilst traveling in New Zealand, but hadn't had a chance to have a go, due to weather conditions. With some help from my friends in New Zealand (thanks guys), I was able to track down the inventor/designer of the Bugs. After a few phone-calls and e-mails, John and Kate, (from Nae Limits), gave it the green light. Extreme Dreams and Nae Limits were now in business!

River Bugs have been described as "a cross between a white water raft and an armchair!" I think that says it all.

The Bugs are the latest extreme sport to come out of New Zealand. They have been in use there for around five years, and apart from New Zealand, Scotland is the only other country in the world where the River Bugs are commercially available.

As most people know, the Kiwis are not known for standing still when it comes to creating new extreme sports. They have obviously been white water rafting and kayaking for some time, but they needed to find something else to do with all that white water. That is where the River Bugs came into play.

The River Bug is a single-person white water craft. It only weighs around 7 Kilos and is very easy to maneuver with a little bit of training. They can travel through white water ranging from grades 1 to 3, run small rapids and can even be used to pull stunts, such as pirouettes. Some of you may look and say that grades 1 to 3 are not exactly extreme, but when you are actually sitting in the Bug, with white water splashing all around you, zipping past rocks, surfing the waves and going over the occasional drop, you may change your mind!

If you fancy being a "River Bugger," contact Nae Limits and see when you can have a go!
