Description

This rapid got the name of John’s Tailbone after a local SUP paddler decided to fall off and find the bottom of the river with his bottom. The entrance is on river left and includes a flipper rock that gets some. This rapid is run from left to right or left to center. There is also an entrance on the far right into a boof at higher water. A hole at the very bottom can sometimes get people. At lower flow there are many eddies in this rapid.  The brave (or stupid) can try playing in the hole.  There are also some small surf waves for the less brave (or smarter folks).  There is some more boogie before Around the Corner (formerly Woodside II).
