Description

A small pocket wave/hole at the put-in allows surfing and beginners practice ferrying in good current (in the outflow) at low levels. At high levels, it becomes very playable. I've even heard stories (from 'the old days', when 11-12' boats were the norm) of people catching an ender and having the boat hit the bridge undercarriage!
