First, I checked Colorado (I was planning to get some waves) but there was a small onshore messing with the waves.

While waiting to take some surfing photos I noticed that the rivermouth was full and there was a small flow of water towards the ocean… I “mind surf” a bit on the little waves created by the current.

A few minutes later Danny came running all excited and yelling “I did this! I can’t believe it’s working!”… Less than an hour before he digged out the sand so the river could start flowing to the ocean in hopes of creating some surfable waves.

And it definitely worked! Even though it was hard to find the right spot and figure out the waves, everyone had a blast!

Right away the expectators showed up… everyone was surprised by the strength and speed of the water, and of course, by the amount of water and sand flowing.

The river became too wide and too shallow really fast, and the waves dissapeared as fast as they showed up. it was great!

With the amount of sand that got washed away into the break, it will probably get really good tomorrow or in the next couple of days, stay tune because there is a new swell coming!
