Has been my joy helping you score surf in our landlocked state of Colorado, especially in metro-Denver and traveling out of the Front Range to surf.

“Pueblo’s New Wave“ Revealed May 16th, 2024!!!
Just by chance I had business down in Pueblo, Colorado the morning of Thursday May 16, 2024 and after a meeting I got word Chatty was going up to 1,400cfs and “Miracle Wave” was up… but I was in Pueblo. Kind of bummed I decided to go get some quality footage of “Pueblo’s New Wave” […]

INDEFINITELY PAUSING PROMOTING RIVER SURFING
After much research, failed attempts for change of status quo, and self-reflection; I have decided to refrain from knowingly promoting river surfing due to river surfing’s unwittingly and knowingly negligent use of unsafe gear (in particular the use of quick release leashes and improperly designed personal floatation devices for river surfing). Quick Release Leashes Are […]
