Post by: windowshade on March 17, 2009, 09:16:55 PM

Christian,

I'm going to bring my creeker at Champlain tomorrow afternoon. I'll try to be early in the afternon, like 2pm. I'll call you. Anyone else interested?

It was fun. The first wave was surfable in a fast boat, and the 2nd looks like it's starting to form. No recirculation in the wall eddy however. Below are some pictures comparing the Habitat 80 and the Blunt. They are still quite similar, the Habitat is a lot rounder though.

But the Habitat is a lot lighter... The eddy is mostly clear, but there are strange debris floating in it...
