]]> I first started taking surf trips to Pueblo 12 years ago. I would drive down 3-5 times a week. I drove roundtrip for 4 hours to surf for 2. I never really wanted to surf anywhere else because I knew when it was going to be good or not. Surfing here was always a sure thing. I knew that I was going to have a good session.

The waves in Pueblo get good starting at 1k and stay good all the way up to 4k. The more flow the better the wave will be. I use the gage on American Whitewater.

It is awesome to surf with so much art in the back drop.

Pueblo is unique because of the wall that lines the river. It is awesome to surf with so much art in the back drop! We started surfing in hole 3 today. It was so much fun. The wave has changed a lot over the years. At 1k the wave use to be a little stronger. I think sediment has filled in behind the wave over the years and made it a little softer.

I got to charge hole 4 and nail it first time. In the past I always stayed at hole 3 because the swim is easier and the wave is easier to surf. The last time I surfed hole 4 I had a pretty long hold down. I fell in the whitewash of the wave and just got held there for 30 to 45 seconds. It felt way longer!

I get really excited to hear about the new wave project they are working on. Having a large wave shaper there would be amazing. I really hope that the wave gets approved and we are able to make an amazing wave down there!

The Pueblo Whitewater Park hosts eight waves in total and is located on the Arkansas River in Pueblo, Colorado. The park is about half a mile in length and offers a range of river surfing features. Depending on the flows and the time of year the drops vary from very tame (early spring and late fall) to epic conditions (Late June early July). Each drop has a sizeable eddy beneath it. It can be a great place for river surfing beginners and also a good place to go for some of the warmest water in the state as it sits in Lake Pueblo before being released downstream through a dam.

Spot Details

Address

  • Chapa Place, Pueblo, Colorado, United States

Directions

  • The Pueblo Whitewater Park can be accessed by exiting I-25 at either 6th Street or 1st Street. On First Street travel West on first turning left at Union Avenue. Continue on Union Avenue crossing the bridge and immediately turning right on to Corona Street. This is the end of the park and a good place to park so that you do your hike before you surf and not after. If you exit 6th Street travel West on 6th Street, turn left (South) on Elizabeth, go 2 blocks and turn right on 4th Street. Continue West on 4th Street and turn left on Chapa immediately after crossing the bridge. Follow Chapa to the left behind the chinese restuarant then turn right on Pearl Street. The Parking lot for the park will be on your left. This is at the top of the park nearest the number one drop or “P-Wave”. There is a little bit of a hike to get to the river, but not too bad (playak.com).
