Description

There is small waterfall on your left that is at the top of this rapid.  Catch some eddies on the left as you work you way down or catch a bunch of catch-on-the-fly surf waves.  About midway down, there is sometimes a nice glassy surf wave and a diagonal hole behind it.  Near the end of the sequence are also a couple small surf waves.  It's best to start this one left and work right above the glassy wave and then stay right and finish out below it.  Sometimes some eddies form on the left below the glassy wave which can be fun to negotiate.
