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).

Chatfield decreased to 80cfs at 11:30am Saturday, August 19, 2023. Sixx was surfed Friday at low flow but the Chatty drop to 80cfs will essentially take the surf out of Sixx, Chiclets, and Beavers and 16th to a point. Though the desperate surfers might hit Beavers anyway (it was surfed early Saturday) or Dave’s Wave

The main reservoir release gate will be increased from 575 to 625 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Tuesday, June 18, 2024. RRP: Wish I could tell you why, maybe the heat is bringing more snow melt in, don’t know, but we are back up 50cfs out the dam after

No official word yet but the water managers have booked the outflow from Chatfield at 575cfs. Will assume that will be the flow change some today but if it differs, we will let you know. There is about 95cfs already in the river right now so RRP will be seeing around 670cfs in the next

No change at Chatfield today. The main reservoir release gate will remain at 625 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Sunday, June 16, 2024. Big Benni’s is shaped perfect and the swim out the back is not all that difficult even at about 700cfs when factoring in the native flow

Activities will likely include but not limited to: So bring some beach chairs, a shade

The main reservoir gate release will increase from 550 cfs to 625 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Friday, June 14, 2024. Friday surf will be fluffy fun at Sixx for a few more hours (go get it now) and then by say 3pm or 4pm it might be harder

The main reservoir gate release will decrease from 750 cfs to 625 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Wednesday, June 12, 2024. RRP: Sixx will likely still be blown out because of high native flow in the river. Keep an eye on the cam and Union gauge to see if

The USACE will be inspecting one section of the line this morning around 9am. Flows from Chatfield will be shutdown for approximately 30 minutes during the inspection and then resume back to 750 cfs. A gate change may occur later in the morning, but a second communication will have that information. Thank you. Sixx will
