(Premiering June 2025)
There is a place where landlocked surfers thrive… the Arkansas River Valley of Colorado. Mike Harvey, Zach Hughes, and many others have transformed this majestic location into a whitewater Mecca. More recently the sport of river surfing has taken these valley towns by storm. Join us as we explore the development of the river surfing scene, the community that it facilitates, and the transformative impact that this craze could continue to have as it stretches across the nation.

Tucked between the Collegiate Peaks and the rolling foothills of central Colorado lies valley booming with outdoor lifestyle.
The Arkansas River delves deep across this arid high desert landscape, sustaining life for generations, and now, a hub of recreation.
From Leadville to Cotopaxi, this hydraulic wonder has been neglected and cherished across its extensive history.
