Description

As of March 2024 may have changed. More water is going river left, making the right side boof very tight. Have a look if in doubt.

Usually run by starting on river left or middle of lead-in boogie water and moving strong right, with a hard boof to the right as photo shows. Lands next to a big rock that extends up into center of river as a pinch rock that makes you do this far right boof. This rapid is why elbow pads exist.
