When you hear someone say that a playspot is at it’s “Hollywood” level, it means that anyone on the feature will look like a star. Well, Yesterday, Cotton Candy was at it’s Hollywood level. Cotton Candy isn’t the best wave in the world, but for a playspot that is 5 minutes away (if you live in Eugene), it’s pretty darn good. We did have a lot of rain the night before last, but that doesn’t explain the sudden jump in the water level (from roughly 9.8 ft to 10.8 ft in one day). I think they just decided to let some water out up at Dexter Reservoir. At any rate, it was a lot of fun. I was getting left and right spins quite easily and was almost able to blunt a few times (kept getting flushed).
On a similar note, a few weeks ago, someone built up a little rock wall at the bottom of the top eddy (at Cotton Candy). This actually made the attainment a little bit easier. A big “thank you” goes out to whoever is responsible for that.
Peace out
