Description

This is the first of the Black Mo's characteristic sharp turns. The rapid begins with a slight left turn into a drop with a fluffy but easily punchable hole. There's a large eddy on the right side where most eddy out to set up for the sharp left turn. Ferry out far to the left to make the inside of the turn and continue through the next set of waves and offset holes. Or, for added challenge, one can also eddy out in Coon Eddy itself behind the large rock on the river right side of the bend, and subsequently ferry back into the main flow above the rock.
