Description

This is the biggest feature on the river and probably the reason to run the whole river instead of doing the loop. The hole is big enough to be powerful, but small enough to not overpower you at the same time. The water is too shallow for vertical moves, but you can backsurf and flat spin in the hole nicely! It is called gas saver because if it's running, I ain't gonna drive hours away just to surf on other rivers! Unfortunately, it is located deep in the gorge with no easy hike-in access.
