Description

At the top of Black Hole Rapids, 2 islands split the river into 3 channels. Any channel will work, but they can be boney at lower levels. Then there are cliffs on river right. You can catch a micro-eddy on river right, and get ready for the last surf opportunity. In the middle of the river there are 2 waves, one right behind the other. Both will surf depending on the water level. The second one is often the best. These are catch-on-the-fly, and some of the best surf on the river.
