Description

A small pool below Boofers will offer two options: a left portage to access Go-Left lite, or following the flow right into the next pool to set up for the new Squeeze.

Leaving said pool in a slot down the center, this techy drop allows little to no respite before entering Go Left, depending on flow. The keen boater will want to enter the slot with some speed to the right and point back left for some semblance of a boof.

You should expect a less-than dry experience upon landing and be ready for anything. The left exit will kick you toward the good boof in Go-Left, while a right exit will have you scrambling to avoid the right wall atop Go Left. Adding this drop to Go Left warrants an engaging time. 

At low water (less than 5"), be careful. This slot is still runnable, but has a tendency to kick boaters hard on (left) edge and a flip would be bad news. A highly-skilled paddler recently injured their shoulder here at low water.
