A few years back Brent Walker and I happened along that way a few days after
memorial day.  The spring flood was at its peak, so that section was closed.

What can I say.  We poached it.  Nice big waves.  A couple of huge but avoidable
holes.  Oddly enough, we had a face dry run.  The line just opened up along the
way.  A very sweet run.

Cheers,
