Surfing news roundup 08/28/25: Waves in the East, healing in the West, and a surf river in between

In this episode of The Wipeout Weekly: only good surf news allowed. We've got a packed roundup, featuring hurricane-fueled stoke in Rockaway Beach, engineered standing waves turning Colorado into an unlikely surf destination, and an ocean-powered healing clinic for veterans at La Jolla Shores. - Hurricane Erin brings once-in-a-decade swell to Long Island and NYC—and surfers absolutely send it. -You can surf in Colorado. And not in a pool, either. We explain how standing river waves work and why the scene is booming. - Nearly 150 veterans catch waves (and joy) at the VA Summer Sports Clinic in La Jolla. No aggro, no bummers—just the best of what surfing gave us this week.
