Description

Lulu is a five foot drop with a powerful hole to the left and a relatively easy boof center. Lulu opens for business between at levels between 7.5 - 10 ft. After the drop make a right move and look for an eddy. If you continue straight watch out for some holes and pretty shallow water, try not to flip over.

 

Update on Wood in LuLu (4/21/2020) Wood is still on the right but the main drop is runnable. Scouting is available from the log pile.
