The trick is to catch the blusetone between 8 to 10 feet. Then it starts to get some size, the slack water disappears, and the wahoo meter moves closer to the redline.
The downward pressure on the rating scale, rating this 1 to 3 [probably done by some self impressed, young surfer dude at low water] does no one any good in terms of actually figuring out whats going on with the river.
Those who hold to the creed 'If you're not on the edge, your taking up too much room', generally don't boat much past the age of 35. No, the Bluestone is not the Banzai Pipeline of rivers, but it has the potential of being a nice afternoon in Hossegor.
