2200 and dropping is higher than optimal for surfing

We ran it again at the highest flow we've seen yet and it was still a fairly easy run with good surfing. The speed was such that catching waves on the fly got a little harder. The corners with brush and briars overhanging the river were easier. Overall another sweet day on the creek. We're portaging the dam, which has a huge log in the middle. I think it would go just fine with a modern boat with good bow rocker--want to go over that seam, not down into it. But most of us are paddling our more surfy boats so we can get those dreamy wave rides.
