Description
Flipper is a river wide ledge that creates an amazing surfing spot for all boats, most private boaters run just left of center and make their way into the river left eddy to stage for play. Commercial rafts will surf here as well if the guides are experienced enough to handle it, it's a great spin surf for those rafts - Otherwise the commercial rafting line is right of center with a right hand angle to cruise just left of Flipper rock which is underwater on the downstream side of the ledge about 12-15 feet from the river right bank. Flipper rock is a potential flip hazard for rafts that run directly into it. There is a skirt line on the river right side against the bank in which both the ledge and Flipper rock are avoided, but it is a hard ferry to get across to the Flipper eddy on river left if you take this line.
