Run description:
This is a fun play run that can be paddled at a wide range of levels. The best play levels for big waves are somewhere between 200 and 300 cms. However, it can be paddled as low as 30 cms. The flatwater gets pretty long though. Above 300 cms most features wash out or get to irregular to surf and the river becomes very powerful. “The Ledges” have some spectacular catch on the fly surfing above 200 cms.
