Description

Offset holes and pushy current make for a tight move. Swimmers in Gore Rapid might be swept into this rapid, yardsale gear almost certainly will. Either fold into the curler between the holes and get spit river right or go for the hero boof off the left "hump." Hump-boofs may result in minor to more-than-minor time spent surfing.
