- Description
-
This is a longer rapid as the river makes a river left turn. Rocky at certain levels. Follow the main wave train around to the left. Watch the right bank at the bottom of the rapid as most of the flow runs up against it. Lot's of lateral waves throughout this rapid can easily flip IK's or hard shells. Not too bad though if you keep your eye on them.
