Description
As the dells walls recede, before the Estate Bridge is visible downstream, a couple minor waves occur (at least, at some flows). These allow some smooth easy surfs.
NOTE: For 2023, trees/branches at river-right allow passage without much problem, but these waves are gernerally not well-formed until such time as this clutter blows out.
