Description
The Hep C wave at First Rubble Dam is a playspot located at the 16th St. Bridge on the South Platte River, offering kayakers a consistent surfing feature in an urban setting. The wave is known for its technical nature, requiring precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering to effectively utilize the hydraulic. Paddlers should be aware of potential urban debris and carefully scout the entry and exit points, as the surrounding environment can present additional challenges.
