This is a screenshot from some video I shot at Geer Dam. The level was somewhere around 5.3 and there is a sweet V wave that forms off the corner of the dam where it was broken.

This is a screenshot from some video I shot at Geer Dam on the Eno. A sweet V wave forms at certain levels off the corner of the dam where it was broken. Great spot for lefty blunts! The level was around 5.3 on the AW site.
