The puttin park and surf rapid


See Other Photo Versions

Description: My brother acctually crashed right through this rapid in his raft, but I'm sure a kayaker can surf it because I have done it in my raft a few times. At 500 CFS the wave splits, and I was even able to surf from one side to the other catching the other half of the wave. At 700 CFS it's great, and me and my brother thought it washed out a bit when it was at 900 CFS. This is the best rapid I have seen on this creek, but I haven't been all the way down it yet.
