Slight increase from Chatty makes day of surf at RRP today thru Fri morning!! Clouds and light wind mean, need some sort of wetsuit coverage in needed.
Sixx is the place to surf… Please be considerate of your time on the wave when it is your turn up, that should vary with the lineup size…. If any river wave has a longer queue (aka line-up), shorten your times when up; ie 10 people in the line up, limit your surf time to 1 minute each ride….. In other words; amp up your surfing, surf hard/fast, go for it, gas yourself quickly, and blow out of the wave in less than a minute tops!
Benni’s was surfable yesterday but needed a shape. Not sure if it got shaped or not yesterday.
Chiclets has a geeen face on the left side and looks fun.
Mr. Mike surfed Denver Trestles Wave this morning (see http://endlesswaves.net/waves/trestle-wave/). Mike last scored Trestles at similar flows a few years ago. Of photo of that is on the front cover of Surf Collusion’s Metro Denver 2020 issue of “The River Surfing Report”; that you can buy a zine style black and white collectors printed version of it at Kilgore Books in Denver or read it for free at https://issuu.com/surfcollusion/docs/the_river_surfing_report_metro_denver_vol1-1_march
SURF TRIVIA: What do you do when paddling out in the ocean and a wave is coming straight at you? Three key points to doing it and what are they?
PRIOR SURF TRIVIA: The surfmat was made famous by George Greenough, who’s is known for his 1960s/1970s surfboard designs and work in filming surfing, board design that lead in significant part to the shortboard, surfboard fin characteristics (see https://www.trueames.com/collections/george-greenough), and other creations for the aquatic medium including the surfmat (that in the ocean is faster than a surfboard). Greenough took what was once just a rental beach toy blow-up mat and discovered that if just about half inflated, it had surfboard characteristics such as rails with down the line surfing abilities. He went on to help create the modern day surfmat with Paul Gross of 4th Gear Flyer (Paul is a former editor for Surfer Mag) into what is now a highly technical surf vessel with internal chambers and specific surfmat outlines. Only a handful of people in the world make surfmats and a typical surfmat costs over $300…. Surfmats might not look flashy but they are so fun and can easily snag set waves from unsuspecting ocean surfers in the line-up; and surfmats can be surfed at “blackball” beaches where surfing is prohibited even when the surf is up.
