Ledges

Formerly  river wide but tiny ledges mark the entrance to this Class II rapid. You could front surf a kayak from one shore to the other. However, people built eddys from rocks on river left, taking out about 1/3 of the surfing wave.  That part of the wave is gone permanently, but the eddys need to be rebuilt every year after being washed out from high levels.  Hope the people who destroyed that part of the wave are committed to doing this every year.

Some points on the ledges are just deep enough to side-surf. Just below the river wide ledges is a hole in center right that is a good side-surf above 1000 cfs. After a slight left bend in the river is a large set of rocks on the right with a eddy behind it. The best surfing wave on the upper is right next to the eddy. Can be easily front or back surfed, or surfed with a raft. Remember though, no one likes a hole-hog. Have some consideraton for those waiting in the eddy (especially C-1ers). A sandy beach is opposite the eddy on the left shore.
