Description
Although Lunch Rock is no longer there, this rapid still retains the name. Past Red Ball there is a long stretch of flat water before entering Lunch Rock Rapid. A major wave/hole is located here. Below 9.0 feet the hole is too shallow. At 9.5 feet it's a fun little surfing wave with a deep pocket but is little else. At 10.5 feet, it is a small but powerful hole that offers a real bite. At 11.5 feet, the right channel opens up, offering some nice surfing, and the hole in the left channel becomes a stupendous surf wave.
