Description
Skating Rink Rapid offers a sustained wave train with consistent Class III hydraulics that demand precise boat control and momentum. Paddlers should target the center line to navigate the series of breaking waves, which can quickly flip an unprepared boat, and be prepared to maintain aggressive forward strokes through the sequence to avoid getting caught in potential side holes.
