Description

Nestled in the center of the river and poking out of the water straight up is Oh Sh** Rock or "OSR", this is mainly a pin hazard for rafts and can easily be avoided with the right line through Flipper. There is ample time to make it to either side of OSR after running Flipper and while the river right channel is a less obstructed path, it contains 2 waves and will then require a move to the river left side for Hollywood. The left channel at OSR is fine for either rafts or kayaks/canoes, but has a tighter line with more rocks and is not the recommended commercial rafting line.
