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.

People love to hate on Dave’s Wave because they think the water is straight-up sewer water. Guess they never have surfed SoCal after a rain event where actual untreated sewage is overwhelmed by stormwater and human crap/piss is dragged straight into the ocean. Denver, unlike SoCal, separates the waste treatment system from storm drain water

Mr Zog’s Sex Wax has been around since the 90’s and used by surfers to wax their surfboards (the top) for decades. Problem is finding surf wax in Colorado for river surfing. Look no further than your local hockey rink or hockey pro-shop. Zogs makes wax that is used for the blade of hockey sticks

In 2022, Mike Harvey and his crew of wave builders, re-constructed the Scout Wave into a fun, game changing smooth river wave up in the mountains.
