Whitewater Forum : MF Sno Take Out Wave

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: megspkSubject: MF Sno Take Out WavePosted: 04 Jul 2016 at 7:26pmSurfed the wave today....level is about 680, totally doable. I wouldn't recommend wearing a go pro on your head...that was the only time I smacked my head upside down.....every other roll was clean. It's easiest to catch from the river right side at these levels.
