Waves in Alabama?

You are thinking there are not any waves in Alabama. Most people are under the impression that Alabama does not have whitewater especially surfable waves.  Well you are wrong.  The Mulberry Fork of the Warrior is growing in popularity with every passing day.  Since the evolution of the playboats and increase in technology these waves now offer up every trick in the book.  Yes that is right the Helix in Alabama has been spotted.  When big rains come in the waves at the Mulberry come in.  Some of the more popular waves are Lunch Stop, Dessert Wave, Corner Pocket Wave, Hawaii Five-0 and Joe Momma’s Butt.  Every feature offering up different tricks due to different shapes and corners.  The pictures below are from the two most popular:  Lunch Stop and Hawaii 5-0.  Suprisingly enough, the waves are very consistent in the spring due to a great watertable and spring showers.  Here are some photos of the water as it is coming down. Many are turning into holes but you can still see the structure of the great features.  If you are ever wanting to check the levels go to AlabamaWhitewater.com and click on flowpage.  Then click on Mulberry Fork of the Warrior.  For the waves to come in you need at least 3 feet on the gauge.  NOTE:  To get an accurate reading you have to subtract 3.3 feet from what the internet says.  Hope to see you on the river soon and keep catching air.  Special thanks to Dusty at Coosa Outfitters for letting me use a Super Star until my boats come in.  Thanks again Dusty and make sure to stop and say hello.
