Description

At flows below 1.8 start river right and punch into the eddy on river left. At flows above 1.8 you have a back door entrance down river left into the eddy. Peel out into the high part of the curler from the big river left eddy, it should put you right on line to the left of decap rock (undercut right of the curler), & left of Hydroelectric Rock further down. You can either eddy out above Hydroelectric Rock (also undercut) or continue on around it. There is a hole before Hydro Rock that you have to punch at medium-high levels. There is also a hole just past Hydro to the left. Beware of Sock em Dog below.

Jawbone is kinda scary with all the undercuts. Keep in mind that if you eddy out above Hydroelectric Rock you need to aggressively cross the eddy line before running the left side drop of Hydro. Blowing this move can lead to being sucked in to Hydro.
