Description

White Fang features a technical entry with a powerful diagonal wave that can push boats toward a partially submerged boulder on river right, requiring precise maneuvering. The rapid's midsection contains multiple reactive hydraulics that can quickly spin or catch boats, demanding skilled paddle control and a clean, center-right line to avoid potential pinning hazards.
