Description

At the base of the First Pitch, water hits a brief flowing pool. Experienced, aggressive paddlers may break out of the flow, catch the river-right eddy, and go for surfs in the wave/hole which forms here.

On surfer's-left (river-right), there is a diagonal wrapping wave/hole, while the center-to-left can form a pretty decent wave. There will be a narrow eddy tight to the river-left vertical wall of rock. You will need to be aggressive and in control to avoid being flushed downstream if you try for repeat play here.
