Description

Pike Place is a Class IV ledge drop with a technical entry requiring precise boat positioning left of center to avoid potential pin hazards. The rapid features a steep first drop with powerful hydraulics that demand skilled navigation and quick maneuvering to successfully thread the line between potential rocks and recirculating holes.
