Description

This is a newer feature that was first surfed and named by John Geoppinger. He named it so because it is that addictive! At levels of 5000 to 7000 cfs this monster forms just below First ledge. Ever been on the New River Dries? Its here in Ohio. This is the biggest wave hole on the run. It look intimidating, but is really friendly. Jump in and hold on because unless you are use to surfing big water, it will take you for a ride. Exit the hole on the sides. There is an eddy on the left that only the fastest of boats can catch the hole from, but if you are paddling a spud boat, walk up the left bank.
