Description

Called second chance, because if Beaver Hole didn't get you wet, this one will.  Stay to the left of center as the river makes a left bend, and this will put you in the center to hit the big wave/hole.  To the right of the hole is a rock ledge with a large eddy behind it.  But to surf the wave/hole, eddy out against the left shore opposite the hole, and ferry over to it.  It is a little hard to get on the wave, but it is the best surf on the upper.
