About 1/4 mile into the run after 2 smaller drops, will be a drop with wave train after it. The first wave is the one we call the Oyster wave. It provides good surf but watch out for the big “pearl” in the middle. If you can keep your bow up in the “Pearl” spot in the middle you will be able to surf all day. But eventually the pearl will push your bow down and force you out of the wave. At medium flows it’s the best surf on the run.
