Riders on the storm: Surfers shred on the American River near Sacramento

With water on the river running high, friends Mark Divittorio, Tyler Lausten and Steve Sylvester grabbed their boards over the weekend and hit one of their favorite spots near Carmichael. It’s been five years since the river has been high enough to surf the spot, Lausten said.
