Description
Little to no play at most levels, this feature is generally flat or a slight bump. You might be able to have an extremely mellow surf in a boat or a sup, but that's about it.   At super high flows (8000-10000 cfs) this forms the best little wave at the park! Catch on the fly from the river right eddy below feature 2, the wave is about 2.5ft tall and 20-25ft wide. It changes periodically from green to foam in different sections across the face. It mostly offers soul surf and flat spins, but roundhouses, blunts, and airscrews are possible!   When you flush, make a bee-line for the eddy river-right below feature 4, to get out and walk upstream, across the road and put back in below feature 2 for another shot at feature 3!
