Description
Groover is a technical Class IV- rapid featuring a narrow constriction that requires precise maneuvering between exposed rocks and a series of powerful diagonal waves. Paddlers must navigate a tight entrance with a strong current pushing toward hazardous midstream boulders, then maintain momentum through a challenging wave train that can quickly flip an unprepared boat.
