River wide but tiny ledges mark the entrance to this Class II rapid. You can front surf a kayak from one shore to the other. Some points on the ledges are just deep enough to side-surf. Just below the river wide ledges is a hole in center right that is a good side-surf above 1000 cfs.
After a slight left bend in the river is a large set of rocks on the right with a eddy behind it. The best surfing wave on the upper is right next to the eddy. Can be easily front or back surfed, or surfed with a raft. Remember though, no one likes a hole-hog. Have some consideraton for those waiting in the eddy (especially C-1ers). A sandy beach is opposite the eddy on the left shore.
