Description
Just downstream of the slight-right-bend below Diagonal Slice, there's a slab of concrete in center flow. At some levels (maybe 800-1200?) it can form a surfable (sometimes even flat-spinnable) wave. Generally it lacks a decent eddy, so it's likely to be COTF (catch-on-the-fly), one-and-done.
