Good at: 8-10 feet
Waikiki can be found at higher levels just above the two lunch sites after the Lorne rapid, below Garburator. Usually when we run the Lorne, we stay right and follow a small chute down the river right side in order to avoid the Buseater ledge which spreads across the rest of the river.
At the base of this chute, is where Waikiki appears when the levels rise. This wave is fast, crazy and tight. It can be described as being as fast as Garburatr, but harder to control. The wave train below Waikiki is extremely swirly, and catching the eddy can prove difficult. The eddy lines are strong and powerful. Sometimes people have to walk back up from the Wilderness Tours lunch site, but it's worth every step!
