Description. Our favorite development section begins with a freestyle wave great to develop playboating, ferrying, edge control, combat rolling, eddy catching and piercing with eddy access. The clear blue water progresses with boofs and idea locations for eddy piercing, and confluences into the Lower Trancura. Class III kayakers can takeout early or advanced kayakers can get a few more boofs down to the Lower T takeout.
