| Account | this a boater in the pin spot river right in the second drop. Boater did not paddle thru the hole at the second drop of this rapid, was stern squirted and then surfed into the pin. I believe running the second drop on the right is much safer than running the hole. another option is to run far channel left, but is more difficult than running right, from the squirrelly water between the drops. it is difficult to get out of your boat in the eddy beside the pin spot. if you are going to set safety, hike down from the top of the rapid, or make sure ppl wait until u have time to run the rapid and get out of your boat. the eddy is deep and squirrelly. the pin spot is located at the second drop, it is a large seive type pin. the pin is in paly below about 1000 CFS. this a boater in the pin spot river right at the second drop.
