This super steep slide has a tricky and squirly entrance but is so sweeeeet!

Blowing this relatively straight forward boof can result in a serious encounter with the right wall which is undercut and has lots of current pushing into it.

This drop has an almost irresistable boof opportunity however much flow recirculates and failure to execute will certainly send the paddler into the cave beneath the slab.
