Description
Overboard is a technical Class III rapid characterized by a series of offset diagonal waves and a powerful center hole that can easily flip boats if not navigated precisely. The primary line requires a strong right-to-left move to avoid the recirculating center feature, with experienced paddlers needing to maintain momentum and precise boat angle to cleanly thread between potential hydraulic traps.
