Description

After Lunchstop, find a break in the trees and ferry over to the river left channel. You will find lots of waves here. At lower levels these are too small to get much play on. With more water, the waves get bigger and provide lots of small spots to surf, spin, etc., etc.

At levels above about 1,500 cfs, keep an eye on the island in the middle of the river. At the end of this island you have a decision. Either keep boogying down the waves of Ocean Boulevard or ferry over to an eddy at the bottom of the island and attain up to the river right channel to run Three Foot Falls.
