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

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

No update yet from the Chatfield water managers at almost 2pm. Maybe they are going to see DU hockey play in the championship game watch party at Magness Arena at DU’s campus 4pm. If I get any updates on flow will do a quick report. Meanwhile read up on the KAYAK’s WAVE AT RRP!!! Last

River surfing season 2024 is round the corner. Be cool and get a board shaped for ya or look for some deals and/or steals.. Here they are as long as they last: Truth is, try others peoples surfboards at the river waves and find something you like. Sometimes a quiver of boards is what you

The main reservoir release gate will be reduced to 65 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Thursday, April 11, 2024. Sixx is out of play…. Did check Sixx late yesterday evening, looked surfable despite the triangles not covered. See the pic below. Not sure why Chatfield is releasing just below

No change at Chatfield today. The main reservoir release gate will remain at 90 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Wednesday, April 10, 2024. Chatty flow is just at that level right now that misses Sixx being surfable unless some more water makes it into the river tributaries and down

No change at Chatfield today. The main reservoir release gate will remain at 90 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Tuesday, April 9, 2024. Surprised that nobody has given Sixx a try at this flow with extra water in the system. Sixx is shaped for fun lowflow surf and the

The main reservoir release gate will be increased from 70 to 90 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Monday, April 8, 2024. Kind of still below Sixx but keep an eye on it. Beavers, 16th, and Dave’s will be surfable. LBK

The eclipse is happening started at 11:28 a.m. here in Colorado. The eclipse will peak at 12:40 p.m., and will end at 1:54 p.m. The entire eclipse will last about 2 hours and 26 minutes from start to finish over the Colorado area. Still waiting on the Chatty release info… Don’t look at the sun

Likely will not see a Chatty flow change today. Mr Mike has called another 16th St Bridge (downtown Denver downriver 5-10 min walk from REI) surf sessions as water is still in the system for a fun surf at 267cfs. Longboards and short boards w/ some volume are surfable. Mr Mike says, “Come one; Come
