Description
The river dives striaght through a nasty pile of rocks here. Though there is a marginal line down the middle (and I do mean marginal), almost everyone will walk down the left or the right.
A right portage will take you the long way around sunshine, making sure you miss Groove Tube.
A left portage will allow you to put back in for an epic drop just above Sunshine.
