Hiting the water.

River surfing in Colorado, I caught 4 waves and after that my hands where numb so I called it a day. The river has alot of potential. I cant wait to go back this week when the water lives rise once again to peak levels!! As soon as we get up to 20,000 CFS this wave will hit about 7-8 feet. Rumor has it Big Sur has already broke once and this 10 year wave will br breaking around June 2nd!!
