Description

This 6 foot tall slide runs diagonally to the main current. There is an undercut on the bottom left. Above 3 inches on the gauge the hole at the bottom is stiff. By boofing right into the eddy behind the large rock on the right, you can turn and square up to hit the hole at the bottom. It will surf you out to an eddy on the right.
