Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were funky today. The mid-morning and early afternoon windows were best. The wind kicked up onshore in the afternoon and it even rained! You’ll see that there were still a few gems and shreddable waves.

The set waves were the best as they were more groomed and smooth faces.

The crowd was pretty light all day. I think everyone was a bit gassed from Friday. A few riderless beauties rolled through.

Now to some of this morning's shredding! You had to engage your fins as there was some slush moving around on the inside.

This guy pushed so hard through this turn that his back toes came fully off the deck! Laying it on the line.

Finley timed his sessions perfectly today. I caught both windows. That's impressive when conditions are variable.
