Description

This modified slalom course offers a consistent surfing wave with predictable hydraulics, ideal for kayakers looking to practice playboating techniques. The compact 0.35-mile channel provides multiple entry points and opportunities to work the wave, with moderate difficulty that allows intermediate paddlers to build skills. Paddlers should be aware of potential recirculating features and maintain proper boat positioning to avoid unexpected swims.
