Description

Immediately after passing under the first bridge, you will come to Vegomatic. At 2 turbines the left side doesn't have enough water, the center is the easier line and the right has a couple wave/holes. At 3 turbines the left opens and the waves on the other routes get a little bigger. There are a couple large eddies at the top of Vegomatic.
