In the men’s division, we saw all the heavy hitters come out to fight for the last points on the Tour. Miles took 1st place by throwing down a dizzying array of spins, chop hops and shuvits. 2nd and 3rd place went to Mike Tavares and Bodhi Harrison respectively who both surfed extremely well.
In the overall Tour, this result didn’t change the men’s final ranking at all. Here are the top three men’s surfers from the Colorado SUP River Surf Championship Tour!
