Description
Split Decision is a technical Class II+ rapid featuring a prominent diagonal wave that requires precise boat positioning and quick decision-making. Paddlers must navigate between a large mid-stream boulder and a powerful recirculating hole on river right, with the main line demanding a narrow, angled entry to avoid potential side-surfing or pin potential. Smart route selection and quick eddy-hopping skills are essential to successfully running this complex Cedar Creek rapid.
