Description

This rapid used to have a much higher consequence as it flowed straight into Sunshine. Now, there is a large pile of rocks forming a nice eddy at the base.

Considering you're already out of your boat, take a quick look at the 8-10' tall ledge before you leap. Above 6-7' the left side will start to form more of a rooster tail, where you will white out as you're falling. Below this threshold, the left side is an amazing double-left boof off the ledge with big air potential.

You can also run the right side of the ledge with a delicately-timed boof. As far as any of us know, the landing is clear here.

After running this, paddle into the left eddy and hop out for a quick portage around sunshine on the left.
