What's it like
Picture reproduced by kind permission of Mike Duggan.
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.
