Description

Kromer's can be scouted on the right bank by walking along the edge up to the brink. It should be run about 10' off the right bank under the grapevines. Kromer's consists of a 6' initial drop, followed by a long slide that tends to push you to the center and then a big 16-20' drop. Make sure to surf the bottom of the falls as this is the best surf wave on the river.
