Description
Not much play at any level.   Under 500 cfs: Eddy access from left or right for a fairly deep feature that is narrow and flushy. At the higher end of this range you might flat spin or ender but it’s likely you will flush every time. It is surfable on board but it’s a mushy surf.   500-1200 cfs: Eddy access from either side, and the feature is still flushy and narrow. The sides start to get burlier as the water starts to flow over the rocks.   1200+ cfs: Less play and the sides get more burly but are still rocky and shallow. At super high flows (8000-10000 cfs) this feature looks very fluffy and hungry. You can punch through the middle but might get endered in a playboat. (We do not know when this feature washes out ... so far it just gets bigger with more water.)
