Bungee surfing on the Aare

Bungee surfing uses an elastic rubber rope that pulls the surfer on a board across the river. The current of the Aare, with water at around 11 degrees, adds an extra challenge. A knife is attached to the setup in case a foot gets caught in the rope. After some initial difficulties getting started, it becomes possible, with assistance, to move into the middle of the river and get the board gliding.
