SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Surf's up on the American River.
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.
The three men have more than 50 years of whitewater experience between them, Sylvester said, including white water rafting, kayaking and surfing. He’s scouted the location when the water is low during the summer.
