What's it like

Hole brothers is a nice hole allowing any kind of trick. The wave above is ideal for wavewheeling into it. At high water levels, the hole turns into a wave and blunts are easy on the surfers' left shoulder. There is good eddy access from either side. Note that there is a little 'pocket' on surfers' right ideal for throwing ends both sides.

How to get there

Take the I81 to Watertown and get off at Coffeen Street. Now travel east for 5 or 6 traffic lights and turn left onto City Center Road. Take the next left and park at the Hudson River Rafting Company.

More info

Hole brothers is there all year round. Call the Hudson River Rafting Company at +1 315-782-7881 for water level information.
