Description

This easy class II means Slalom is coming up next.

At higher flows this can turn into a fun drop with a big hit. At lower flows beware of rocks hiding in the froth at the bottom; left of center. At super high flows (5000ish and up) those rocks form the "Turbo Wave." Bring a fast boat to catch it.
