How to run Helicopter Eddy

Helicopter Eddy offers fascinating hydrology as the river slams into the left shore creating a somewhat frightening eddy on river left. The run here is to keep to the right avoiding this nastiness. Careful though, river right also has an ugly eddy and if you hit this to high you will be fighting between the ripping current in the main channel and the fast upstream eddy water on your right. I personally wouldn’t want to be in a ducky for this one.
