Mama Bear

Quality:
Levels: 11ft+
Location:  Bear Channel, down stream from Beartrap
Getting There:  Paddle down through the Bear Channel from river left, or attain/carry up from river right
Eddy service:  Good.  Easy but long paddle back up
Skill Level:  Intermediate
Description:  If everything else is too high, but Beartrap is too low, Mama Bear should be "Just Right."  It's a fun little wave with a foampile that gets bigger and more consistant with more water.  Good for flatspins, blunts, and endless frontsurfs, and a few ends as the foampile gets better. She's pretty gentle, and good for paddlers who don't feel comfortable surfing Beartrap. Many people confuse this spot with Beartrap, which is the ledge just upstream.
