6/14/2013 old dam site and immediately above, ~7pm, gauge 7.12' = ~7000cfs, with Mike Campbell and Andy Kuhlberg, investigated new high water waves at and above the site of the removed dam. New big surf is 'Brave New Wave.' Several big, pulsing waves, the new hole at the last ledge 'Inquisition' very retentive at least down to 3.5'. Best surfs at this level were not optimal for playboats (too short) or slalom boats (too long); would have favored boats 7-9' long. Posting 10 photos and videos when site problems are cleared.
