Typewriter ("TW")

Time of year matters! Waves are 'broken' in summer (not forming at flows they'd be great late-fall and most of spring)! Descriptions of features (and water levels they're 'in') are for *non-summer* situation! From 600 to 1300 cfs, whitewater playboaters should get surfs, flatspins, and slightly elevated spins. (There's never enough retentiveness or depth for full-vertical or aerial maneuvers.) A shoreline 'escalator eddy' river-right allows easy repeat play. High water in 2008 changed this feature. The former diagonal wave (looking like it would 'typewriter' you to river-left) no longer exists. Now (when it is 'in'), it is a narrower wave or breaking wave/hole, center-river. At some flows, a secondary wave (immediately behind) is also surfable. The names of this feature and those which follow pay homage to Christopher Latham Sholes who is credited with (improvements on efforts of others and a number of patents which led to) the first commercially viable typewriter.
