Description

The river splits around an island here. Stay to the river left for easy boogie and river right for a little stretch of rapid. Lots of fun moves and lines can be done here and there is a small surf wave at the bottom from the river right eddy. On higher flows can get washed out but still fun. Stay to the river left after as the river splits again as it dries out on river right.
