Description

At the very bottom of the right channel along the island (just at the top of Straight Shot) lies a very meaty (but fun) surfing hole. The hole can be easily reached from the left channel by swinging inside close around the bottom of the island, than attaining up into the eddy along the right channel. From here you can ferry across and enter the hole from eddies on either side of the river.
