Hi Folks,
Cold weather means Park and Play Time @ Sewer Wave!
The wave is in, saw it today. Check pic I took, it's even starting to have a foam pile and the level is rising!
Sewer is Great for front surf, spins, blunts, etc. Canoers are always welcome! ;D
Bill, Myself, Christian, Tibor, Stephane and Julie will meet to park and play this Saturday at 2 PM.
Apr?s-Paddle at Whispers for hot chocolate and nachos!
See you there!
Paul ;D

Hi Adam, going towards Gatineau, turn right after the bridge onto the first street, Lucerne Street. Drive to the end at B?gin Street. Turn right and go to the end of the street to the statue. You have arrived!
See you there!

If someone is willing give me a ride tomorrow I would appreciate it, I will give gas money. Don't go too far out of your way to drive me. If I don't go its no big deal. Send me a text if you can at 6138092550.

Thnx Bill for offering to take me but I was out so I wouldn't be able to make it back in time.

You did not miss anything. Most people could not even catch the green wave, except for a surfer dude with a rope, and Cindy who surfed 5-6 seconds... The bottom of the river really has changed a couple springs ago, it looks like we lost the nice wave we had... --C.

the water jumped to 58.7, according to my records it is good at 58.4, maybe the water was to high. dechanes should be in too.
-
Was at deschenes today.
It was ok.
Hass hole was flooded out.
Looks like champlain might come in.
-
The Beachburg sections was at 17 today, and still on its way up.
I've heard that it takes 2-3 days for that water to reach Ottawa.
If that's the case, I think Jon is right. We may have Champlain for a few days at least!
-
Nice
-
Champlain next Saturday before the AGM!!!!
Sweet,

Ryan,
Were you on the river? Middle or Main?

Ran the middle yesterday. At 17 things begin to flush out.
Phil's is all but gone.
Sattler's is an angry wave.
LNN is just two large overlapping holes.
-
Deschenes is sure nice and champlain is definitely in...not sure how the eddy is but at 58.9 im pretty sure its in.
If I had a playboat id sure be down for a session after work or this weekend!
-
I will for sure be at champlain sometime this week with Sonya just not sure when.

Champlain was just starting to come in when I checked it out yesterday.
-
It's almost at 59 now! The eddy is definitely in--maybe we should go BEFORE the weekend, in case it does not last that long! The water is still reasonably warm. --C.
-
Yes I agree!

Well guys...
I drove up to Bate Island tonight at 18:00, braving the nocturnal local fauna with a flashlight in my hand.
There is a strong correlation with the water level upstream, at Britannia, and the waves at Bate Island. But somehow these waves seem to depend on the level downstream, as determined by the various dams at Chaudi?re falls.
I turns out that even though the level is almost 59 m on the upstream gauge, there is unfortunately not much to surf at Bate island right now.
The trend is fortunately upwards, so let's hope that it gets better! A part of the Rauch family will be our scouts tomorrow morning, so we should know for sure!
--C.
-
I was a little confused myself christian, as when I went there the level was at a level I had surfed before, and there was nothing.
-
I'll be either at Champlain , Sewer or Desch?nes Saturday, before the AGM!
It has become a CdB Tradition to Park and Play the day of the AGM:)!
