Just ran at 10000. There is a hole on the right that is large in surprise falls. At this level in the raft it was impossible to break the v wave laterally in Skull. The wave before skull hole was huge. It reminded me of Lava on the Grand. For big raft go down the V headed left and hit the large wave on its left side then pull like hell to miss the magnetic wall. The wave will naturally pull you left. You can't break the 2 to 3 foot wall on the left side of the V with an Oar rig it is just too large. Smaller boats and catarafts can do it and not have a problem. Everything else is read and run and great fun with big hits. There were no trees or other obstacles to miss. Bring a motor if you can to go out the last 5 miles.
