This is the first rapid in this section of the bayou. It's a small pourover that can surfed from the eddy on river left.
At lower levels, this rapid has quite a few rocks in and around the main wave train.
There's a couple of waves that can be surfed on river right. At higher levels, the Toro Wave is formed on river left.
There's a small wave that can be surfed at the entrance. At higher levels, there are some really nice waves in the river left line.
There's a nice pourover on river right for surfing at lower levels. The main pourover on river right and the slide beside it are great for surfing at higher levels!
This is the longest rapid on the run. It has two very long wave trains going down river left. Avoid the large root ball protruding from the river left bank.
This rapid is created by slabs of rock angled upstream. This creates some undercut areas, especially on river right. It also creates a nasty pourover.
