Description
Powerline (aka conception) runs parallel with Pipeline and starts just river right of a power line tower. This rapid opens for the business above 5.5 ft. Above 7.5 the bottom of this drop is sticky and can turn into a terminal hydraulic. The entry into this rapid consists of some eddies on the right and left with some small play spots. The water will turn to the right and then open to about 30 yards of flat water and a horizon line. Scouting is available on the island on the right. This is the five-foot drop in the picture and is the entire point of running this line. There are two lines, one to the far right it's mostly just a slide and the other is a more vertical drop. For the second drop look for a curler wave right of center and run about 4 feet right of the wave. I like the second more vertical drop because the water is very aerated and it's possible to go really deep. After the drop pick your way down to the right or left. Running this rapid takes you to the north side Mayo take out.
