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 official word but it looks like they only went to 70cfs out of the dam. RRP: Not enough flow to surf unless you got a huge inflatable board at Chiclets… Too bad the S. Platte River does not have a VFMP (like the Upper Ark River has) that would parse out surfable flow at

The main reservoir release gate will remain at 20 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 10 cfs today, Monday, July 15, 2024. RRP: Flat Pueblo: 590+/-… Likley surfable (wave is designed to be surfed down to 350cfs). Bring a backup “step-up board” if you got one. Scout; 670+/-… Still looking good but might

The main reservoir release gate will remain at 20 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 10 cfs today, Sunday, July 14, 2024. RRP: No signs of any flow. Crossing our fingers after the heat-dome, they send H2O. Pueblo: 660cfs+/-…. Larry Ward surfed it at that level yesterday and reported it rode great. Here

The main reservoir release gate will be increased from 10 to 20 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 10 cfs today, Saturday, July 13, 2024. RRP: 20cfs?!?…. Surf is flat… Get a snorkel and goggles to search for river booty behind the waves. So far couple of nice sunglasses were scored that way.

The main reservoir release gate will remain at 10 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Friday, July 12, 2024. RRP: No surf. Go look for lost fins in the mud. Pueblo: Ticked up toward 700cfs and could be fun to surf the new wave. Jake has updated his website to

River surfing day zero is the point in the river surfing season when water flow is depleted and turned down to an unsurfable level for the remainder of the year. This comes not only with an inability to river surf but also the five stages of grief. Unfortunately the end of the river surfing season

The main reservoir release gate will be reduced from 150 cfs to 10 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Thursday, July 11, 2024. Bummer.. Hope this just a pause. RRP: Will be flat. Pueblo: Came back up a tad to bit over 500cfs. Somebody needs to take some longer boards

The main reservoir release gate will be reduced from 240 to 150 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Wednesday, July 10, 2024. RRP: Still remains surfable at Sixx and Chiclets while Benni’s drops just at or below surfable level. Sixx will be in the fair to poor range but still

The main reservoir release gate will be reduced from 315 to 240 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Tuesday, July 9, 2024. Please be patient on Sixx and Benni’s getting adjusted after the flow starts to show less water at the waves early this afternoon. Waveshaper volunteers (the 4 who

The main reservoir release gate will be reduced from 350 to 315 cfs, and the fish hatchery will remain at 5 cfs today, Monday, July 8, 2024. RRP: With only a 35cfs reduction to 315cfs out of the dam, we will still have excellent surf at Wave Sixx; but, we are now historically “on pins
