2015 Payette River Games: Registrations Now Open

Registration for the 2015 Payette River Games is now open. Everybody is running to grab their spot on the river – don’t miss out on the second edition of the PRGs! Last year was a huge success with over 500 athletes competing in all of the events and even more competition is expected this year.

You do not have to travel far distances to an Ocean to surf or to watch surfing. Come up to Cascade, Idaho and experience some of the best river surfing and surfers in the world. Led by Cascade’s very own David Allan, who has surfed more on Kelly’s Wave than anyone, all surfers are welcome to compete in the second River Surfing competition.

Competition Format

All river surfing athletes will vote for the other athletes and the winner will be the one with the most athlete votes. There will be no other judges and we invite an aloha spirit to the games. You will find a big glassy wave at Kelly’s in a town reminiscent of an old American Western movie. Picture a pristine and warm river (70-75 degrees) meandering through the town of Cascade, Idaho adjacent to green pasture land in the foreground surrounded by rugged snow capped mountains. There will be 2 competitions, an elite and also an open for the less experienced surfer.

Elite Class

If you think you’ve got the skills to compete with some of the world’s best river surfers, challenge yourself with the Payette River Games Elite River Surfing competition. With $4,000 total prize purse (split evenly for men and women – see the full break down below), this should be one of the most entertaining events of the weekend for spectators and competitors alike.

Fun Class

If you’re more of a beginner but just want to get your feet wet and try surfing the river wave at Kelly’s, jump in to the novice division. This is for surfers who are confident about entering the wave and getting to their feet but perhaps aren’t ready for a 360 air just yet. Come one come all. Give it a try. There are plenty of fun prizes to give away.
