Virginia Chute
3.74 - Absolutely perfect for the RS 6'11, RS 8'0, or the MVP. Great fun level. 3.86 - Very good on the RS 6'11, or the RS 8'0. Not sure about the MVP. 3.9 - Getting soft. Hard to stay in. RS 8'0 probably the best call.

Maryland Chute
3.2 - Not that much water moving. MVP is ok. It's boney, but can be done. River Surfer 6'11 is also ok. Watch for dings! 3.5 - Lots of water moving. MVP for sure. 3.75 - Perfect on an MVP. Great, trashy hole. 3.86 - Not good on anything. Too much water moving.

Odeck
2.8 - Ok to play around. Either the MVP, or better yet the 8.0 river surfer. 3.6-3.8 - Best levels.

Center Chute Ledge and Hole
4.38 - Not good, but this is really no man's land, so bring the MVP or 8.0RS (with all fins) 5.85 - Great level. River Surfer 8.0 is perfect. 6.03 - Great level. Big board is fine.

Wet Bottom
2.82 - The 8'0 is the board. Vids are on youtube. Jon Mengenhauser got the 6'11 in, but 8'0 is the better call. 2.91 - About the highest you can get in here. Need the 8'0. Frank rides the MVP, so does Eric.

Rocky Island
4.02 - Wave is excellent. 4.12 - Boney to go left. Don't. Wave is good. 4.19 - Ok to go to the left from Sandy Beach. Wave is great. Click here to see a video of the wave at 4.2. 4.3 - Ok to go left. Perfect level.

Skull Island
7.5 - Tons of water moving, but definitely can be surfed. Big board for sure.

Offut Waves
4.4 - RS is better than the MVP at this level. Click here to see a video of the wave at this level. 4.48 - Either MVP or RS 6'11. Watch out for the rock on river left! Great wave at this level. (3.30.13) 4.54 - Perfect for the 6'11 RS, or the MVP. Rock shows, but not a big deal. Great level. 4.8 - RS 6'11 or MVP. A bit of a hole, but either board is fine. 4.9 - RS 6'11 or MVP. A bit of a hole, but either board is fine. 4.94 - RS 6'11 or MVP. A bit of a hole, but either board is fine. 5.04 - Super fun level. Still a hole, but either board is fine. (Almost possible to spin a 3 not eh 6'11 at this level.) 5.1 - Lots of water moving. Best for the MVP, not the River Surfer. More of a hole. 5.2 - Very very mushy. Probably the upper limit. MVP is the best shot, but not great.
