Tandem surfers score world first on flooded Colorado River

On June 6, two-time world champion tandem surfer Kalani Vierra, surfing for the first time with Jen Koki, managed to paddle into the flooded Colorado River and perform a sequence of three tandem surf moves in the standing wave in Glenwood Springs. The pair traveled to Colorado from Hawaii as part of a contingent of big wave surfers competing in the first-ever Stand Up Paddle Sprint race at Teva Mountain Games June 2 - 6. When Teva Mountain Games canceled all river events on Sunday due to a high flow advisory, the C4 Waterman team traveled to Glenwood Springs to surf.
