Trip Report

ReporterSean O'Malley

Ran this on 4/29/06 at 3.5 Ferndale, about 2 ft on the putin bridge. This seemed the lowest reasonable level, perhaps even below, for my tastes. Many nice playspots still, but a lot of the drops were VERY bony and technical. I guess folks put up with the boat abuse to get to the playspots.

In contrast, I think 4 or 4.25 Ferndale is a lovely level. The run is nearly continuous, boat scoutable class 3 at that reading, with short recovery pools below most drops and lots of surf waves.
