Description

This is about the best playspot on the river. However it changes depending on the flow.

1000-2000 Small hole, not very powerfull but good for some endless spins. Good eddy on the right.

2000-3500 Big, powerfull hole. At this level you can perform all hole tricks. Eddy is really starting to fade. Walk up right bank.

3500-4500 WOW! Playable, but for real men and women only!

4500-15000 River wide hole, very stickey. Sneek far left.

15000-? Smooths out to nice (and big) wave hole as it starts to wash out. Surfs up!
