This leads me to the specs. With 6' trannies and a foot of true vert in the shallow end it feels like a backyard pool. The deep goes 9and1/2 and 1and1/2. The tricky parts are: the four different transitioned corners, a bad ass hip on one side, and the "onion" round wall (hip) on the other. Last but not least is the steep shallow to deep roll over, redefining the word "waterfall." I have already heard people say; "too gnarly" to that I say whatever. I will also say the Polish Hill bowl is not for the weak. You will get tossed! After all what do you expect when you ride a pool? Once you get over the falls, the hip, or onion, you're cruising, and the first grind on the pool coping is a religious experience.
