here's another one. I haven't boated since mid september so I was a little....excited hiking down to the put-in. The line was horrendous I think every boater decided to head for the stairs at the same time. The line started at the top of the stairs...******. Took about 45 mins. Put-in rapid is a little pesky at 500 release days. Lots of FU rocks and weird squiggles that sent me way offline. All was good though I kept it upright as I was side surfed along the main hump.
I've been contemplating center line at oceana for a while and I pulled the trigger on it today. I figured I would be freaked out by it any given day but I felt I could make the move. It's funny how I had a gameplan before I rolled over the lip, but once I accelerated down the slide it was all reactionary. Didn't have much time to think it through, it just kind of happened. I got turned around in the pool before the thing and ran the last part backwards. The hole at the bottom kept me for a few seconds but it wasn't bad. Felt like a champ at the bottom! A good line down oceana goes a long way for the rest of the run especially after no boating for a while. Rest of the run was bomber until I got pushed left into the big rock at tom's brainbuster and didn't open my edge enough and got flipped going into the brainbuster part of Tom's. I kept it tucked and was thanful for a full face. Rolled up no problem and everything else was good.

It's a bush. Tallulah is one of the many many excellent SE rivers that have been dammed and dewatered. Trees start to grow in the river bed when its dry for 350 days/year
