I've heard of a few spots like this in Utah, but have never witnessed one. I've tried it once on the Ogden River at the mouth of the canyon. It wasn't quite big enough.

We did this in Little Cottonwood Creek when I was young. I used to live by Wheeler Farm back in the day when it was still a working farm. There was a spot where the river crossed under a canel and went down a concrete chute into our swimming hole. You could surf the roll at the bottom of the concrete chute, or even better was to waterski the concrete chute by tying a rope upstream.
Fun stuff :2thumbs:
Use a rope to get into the curl, it makes things much eaiser and you don't need that big of a wave. I noticed in one frame of the video clip these guys were using a rope to get into one of the waves.

does this section still exist?
I used my wakeboard and waterski rope when I attempted it on the Ogden River. |
