Ive been to the Zen Wave twice this summer. Once at 1650 and today at 1080cfs. 1650 was COMPLETELY washed over with no flow. 1080 today just presented tiny features, except for a very nice long eddy line. In fact, as long as the entire rapid isn't drowned, there is always a very long eddy line. Given todays pitiful waves and holes, but nice eddy line, I decided to fill my playboat 2/3rds the way up with water and go SQUIRT boating. Turns out its alot of fun doing a bunch of pirhouttes and stalls. The river is dropping fast considering the massive drainage area. So I imagine that 1080 today will not be like 1080 a week from now, when the swampy flats down river drain a bit.

For the meantime, Im gonna rig up a low volume squirt boat with some plywood and pink foam. Should be fun!
