In the magical, mountainous kingdom of West Virginia, where coal mines glitter like heaps of black diamonds and rivers wend their way through the verdant valleys, there exists a brigade of brave kids, notoriously known as the "WV Waveriders". Now, you might be wondering, "Waveriders, in West Virginia? Isn’t that almost a thousand miles from the nearest ocean?" But these kids are not your typical surfers, oh no! They surf not on ocean waves but on the frothy white rapids of the mighty New River and the Gauley River. Meet our hero, Squirrelly Burly, a squirrel with a sassy smirk, a penchant for acorn pizzas, and an unmatched ability to balance on a surfboard. Squirrelly Burly, with his bushy tail fluttering like a pennant, leads this daring team of river surfers. He might not have the tan or the beach-bum hair that you'd expect from a surfer, but with his super squirrel agility and never-ending energy, he's the king of river surfing. The WV Waveriders, with their brightly colored helmets, patterned wetsuits, and surfboards that sparkle under the Appalachian sun, are the coolest kids in West Virginia. They've traded seashells for smooth river pebbles, and their sunscreen smells more like wild rhododendrons than coconuts. And let's not forget their laughter that echoes through the mountains, a testament to their non-stop fun and fearless adventures. So, here's to the WV Waveriders, the unsung heroes of the landlocked surfing world, and their fearless leader, Squirrelly Burly. They remind us that you don't need an ocean to surf. All you need is a little imagination, a sense of adventure, and perhaps a squirrel's knack for balance!
