Description

After the brief pool from the Cunard put-in, this is the first small rapid. Run straight down the middle for a perfect wave train. The waves are generally equal sized and spaced, allowing for a long set of wavewheels. Above 5' there is a hole that forms on the left side that is not suitable for surfing.

FYI: The old stone bridge on the right that you see across the river as you enter this rapid is where Manns Creek dumps into the New.
