Description
The Winni Play Wave is a dynamic Class III feature characterized by a large, retentive wave that offers excellent surfing opportunities for skilled paddlers. Positioned near the Cross Mill bridge, the wave forms with optimal flow conditions and requires precise boat control to navigate and surf effectively, with potential for both playboating and technical line choices. Paddlers should be aware of surrounding rocks and potential hydraulic recirculation, and maintain a strong, controlled approach to safely interact with this engaging river feature.
