Tandem River Surfing Glenwood Wave, Colorado

RB Team — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 12:37:07 +0000

Kalani Vierra and Jen Koki are the first in the world to tandem surf Glenwood Wave in Colorado. Two-time tandem surfing world champion Kalani Vierra lifted Jen Koki into a series of three poses on the Colorado River Wave. On their fifth attempt on the raging river, they succeeded in performing classic tandem moves such as the cradle, swan and “fake arm to arm” before flushing off the wave.

Glenwood Springs Whitewater Park

RB Team — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 07:00:49 +0000

The Glenwood Whitewater Park, located in Glenwood Springs (Colorado), is the first man-made whitewater feature built on the entire length of the Colorado River. The whitewater park was constructed in West Glenwood in March 2008, immediately upstream of the Midland Ave Bridge. The feature, designed and built by Jason Carey, consists of a hole on river left, and a smaller standing wave on river right. At high water levels, the feature blends to form one wide surfable river wave. The waves are also called “The Glove” and “The Right”. You can even check the wave out live at http://www.coloradowebcam.net.
