Description

The biggest drop on the course (other than the slide down the scissors gates) lies adjacent to the main parking area. From river-right, a fiberglass 'wall' blocks nearly half the channel, creating a fast flume and a dynamic eddy below it.

A slick move is to start left-of-center, charging toward the end of the wall to 'boof' into the eddy. From there, a strong ferry into the powerful flow will allow seasoned paddlers a chance to surf a powerful dynamic wave.
