Friday 4 of the 6 boats were Liquidlogic Remix's. Our crew was playful and found lots of interesting little spots. The wave right at the Mile 8 1/2 put-in was good for a few spins. I ran down the right side of Big Eddy - was easy getting down to the slot but it was pretty bouncy once I passed through the marginal eddy below the right hand rock outcropping. At the bottom of Big Eddy rapid the ender spot gave folks a chance to have some retro fun.
The class 2 rapid above the Mt. Norway Bridge was particularly playful this day. The bridge was a good vantage point for video. With the gauge at 6.44', the little wave below the bridge was not retentive, although it was fine for front surfing.
In Cougar Creek gorge, the wave above the creek was nice, but not easy to stay on. Then the reversal at the Rock Island was in, although it was not too retentive. Here, you want to be sure of your roll, because the rapid is right below.
