Description
Burial rapid features a technical entry with a series of diagonal waves and a powerful center hole that can quickly flip or pin boats. Paddlers should aim to enter center-right, using momentum to punch through the main hydraulic and avoid the recirculating side zones that can trap unwary boaters. Strong eddy service and a clean runout make this a challenging but manageable Class III drop for skilled intermediate paddlers.
