Description

As the river swings by the clubhouse, and the shores turn to vertical steel plate armament, cement rubble in the stream creates a small wave. This can offer some tame surfs at moderate flows (though I'd be real hesitant about doing anything that might have one upside-down or out of boat, due to the concrete rubble you'll likely encounter).
