Description

River gets constricted to half it's normal width by a large rock shelf river left, while also dropping over a series of ledges, make for one of the better multi-move rapids on the Hailstone. Line up river middle and aim to punch the right side of the first V wave on the right side... then punch a second diagnol left-to-right, then square up for the final drop into the surfin' hole. Punch the hole clean, go in backwards to surf on the fly, or, at higher flows, power left into the large eddy just under the rock shelf. A few smaller surfing waves finish the rapid up. Good eddy service river left or river right to surf the main hole. Don't get too far left on the approach or you'll dry out on the shelf, or worse, get into a manky pourover where the shelf abruptly drops off, but the water doesn't pad it.
