Description

Box Wave (named for the big concrete box right in front of the wave on the sloping face of the dam) This is the furthest river left spot with no real consequences except hitting bottom. Its good for all day front surfing at 4400 and up, and may allow some spins. At flows of 4700-5600 cfs this is great place for novices.
