This past Saturday brought with it excellent flow levels at the Falls Dam, releasing at a considerable 3000 cfs. Stoked to give the 4-5 foot breaking wave below the lake release a shot, I joined up with Raleigh locals Seth Yearout and Luke Osborne to get my surf on. As wave access from the eddy below required a near-impossible attainment at this level (see photo), we chose to hike our boats up to the rocky bank upstream of the feature, ferrying behind the backwash of a considerable hydraulic and onto the wave.
Banging my way up the eddy surges on a fruitless attempt to ferry back onto the feature.
