Buck Creek

Ran Snyder Park drops and Museum drops at 5ft on the plum street gauge on 11/4/17. Overall, there was excellent play opportunities. The museum drops were incredible. The first was a very fast wave,excellent for carving. The shoulders were shallow and retentive holes, especially the left side. The second drop was good for flat spins and a better kayaker than I could probably throw a loop here.

The first and last Snyder park waves were washed out. The last one had a swirly eddy line with lots of boils below it. The second drop was a retentive hole on the left side and a nice green wave on the left. It was very convenient to surf the green wave and carve into the hole to try to throw a move. Easily deep enough to throw ends or loops here. There were whirlpools and boils downstream of the drop, but they weren't an issue. The fourth drop was almost washed out, but was good for front surfing. The whirlpools downstream of this drop were a bit intimidating. They formed almost immediately after the wave and pulled my entire kayak under a few times. Probably not best for beginners. Overall good time.
