In my opinion running between the teeth is a poor choice: 
 
1.	The pin was caused when my bow hit a rock that was not visible form shore. This caused my stern to broach on the right tooth. The line looked clean because the real hazard was underwater and not in plain sight. 
 
2.	The obvious hazard of getting side pinned on both teeth. According to a fellow paddler this has already occurred. If one were to flip and end up in this position upside down I believe the consequences would likely be grave. 
 
3.	The left line is not very hard to make and the risks and consequences are lower. 
 
I agree that it is certainly possible to have a clean run between the teeth (and probably not that hard to do so) but the above reasons lead me to recommend taking the left line. In my opinion I feel it is reckless to recommend running between the teeth on a public website, especially since the Paint is typically a beginner/intermediate class III run.
