Title: Free Ottawa Rodeo
Post by: mmm_puddin on September 09, 2008, 04:36:24 PM
Hey Hey,

Don't know if Brendon has planned anything or whats happenig but none of the Ottawa River spots are at a good level. So I figure the pumphouse would be a good spot. There is a small play hole if the level is right. Worse come to worse we can race down it boatercross style and have some fun if anyone is in!

So 6ish to dark tonight at the pumphouse sound good? It cost $5 to paddle there, but it should be a good time!! The pumphouse is on Bronson and Wellington I believe.

Hope to see ya there!

John

The pumphouse was flowing fully on tonight.  It was bigger than normal and provided lots of opportunities for complex eddy hopping moves.  The bottom half had lots of stuff going on, and tiny eddies.  Super practice spot!

Finished off the night with a viewing of "Here and Now" (the one with EJ running Niagra Gorge)

I was a pretty sweet evening - good idea John

Shit (just to see if the forum has a Big Brother rewriting such words as "$h1t" or the likes)!

I decided to go to the judo club instead, and got 'worked', in a different way... Sounds like the Pump House was great! Will have to try it soon.
