Trip Report

Ran both drops on 11/2/17 at 25.6 feet. The Riverscape drop was starting to get fun. The right side was a fairly steep green wave. Great for front surfing and beginner play. The left side was starting to develop a foam pile, but wasn't retentive enough for any big moves. Great for enders and stern squirts. Overall, pretty friendly.

The Monument Ave. drop was huge and very retentive. It generally flushed if you roll, but held you long enough to roll back up on the wave. Great for more advanced play. The eddy on the right was full of trash and some rather largeish logs that were getting swirled around. Way more than usual and large enough that it might hurt to run into one while upside down. I tried to clean up as much as I could, but some of it was difficult to get to. Down stream the 'whirlpools' were out in full force. Fun to mess around it, but hard to roll up in.
