Description
The left channel around the island mentioned above has a couple good, potentially playable waves, and doesn't loose as much altitude as the right channel.
As it wraps around the backside of the island, it drops over a taller falls as it rejoins the right channel. Far left appears a fairly smooth slide, while some other lines may provide a boof into the flow below. Avoid getting too far right, as the landing will be on a spline of rock.
(This is the route less taken, as most folks enjoy running Surprise, and at least looking at Under-the-Falls.)
