Description

Relatively straightforward drop typically run just right of center, either following the water right and then back to the middle or boofing the curling wave. Exit through the right goalpost.
Named at 2024 Feather Fest to honor the many contributions Dave Steindorf has made in his long career with American Whitewater, and to celebrate his retirement at the end of the year!
