Description

Jaws is a standout rapid, with large breaking waves and a dynamic main hole that can pack a bite. Lines vary with flow, but the rapid often provides strong surf potential. It’s thrilling yet manageable for intermediates who stay on line. At lower flows the rapid is not in and boaters will hardly notice the easy class II features where this rapid forms.
