Description

After a short pool you will see this small rapid. During the summer it will be marked by all of the rafters stopping to swim it (hence the name). The best thing about this one is the Toilet Bowl. Start on the left side. As you float down you will see a curler/tube. You can tuck up and it will flush you down, or it is a good place to launch a kick flip. There is a small wave-train runout.
