Playspot: Switzerland, River Rhone, Sierre

What's it like

This is a pretty fast and 'natural' wave, about 6 meters wide, with an eddy on river right. The left part is breaking while the right is completely greeeeen. Nearly all modern wave moves can be shown there. The water is cold and deep.

Watch of for floating debris especially when river is rising - good to have somebody watching with a whistle on bank or in eddy as you cant see much upstream when you are in the wave.

The spot is best at higher water levels, typically from late June till late August.
