Description

After you leave the lunch break island you will come across 3 small class 1 ledges(Shaw's Falls). At different levels each one provides great surf spots and strong eddy lines. Fun little class 1 spots to play or for newer paddlers to work on skills. At levels above 5ft the waves start to push Class II
