Sewer Wave Surf, Saturday, March 23, 2PM!

The title says it all! I'm bringing my Super Hero to see if it surfs as well as they say!

Cold water gear and self rescue skills a must.

See you there..... (Saturday @ 2PM....),!

Paul  ;D

PS Please post on this thread if you plan to attend :o

I'd say so... I am known to 'personalise' my boats using rocks, but I may try to keep this one shiny for a little while...

I didn't buy it to look at it, however, and fiberglass isn't that fragile... Oooh I'm looking forward to try it...

I went to sewer yesterday, Wave was good, but it was pushy and hard to setup for moves.

Hard to set up for moves? How hard can it be to set up for "front surf to right carve", then for right carve to left carve"?  ::)

Paul :)

PS  Hey Martin are you and Richard joinning us tomorrow?

First paddle of the year 2013, at Sewer wave. Did not catch the wave once, came close to on my last two tries. Christian, the bugger, got on it with my boat :o (New, to me, 2008 Jackson Super Hero, love the boat!!!), proving it is possible.... ::)

Bill was there, so was Kelly and Martin too, but he left as soon as we got there, probably ashamed to paddle in front of such awesome paddlers as us older folks!, LOL, Met Steve a new member of the CdB and Johnyak who I met a few times but will now remember. We paddled for almost two hours. Truly a fun day, even between my coughing fits, stupid bronchitis!

Until next weekend!

Paul ;)

Just bought a 2012 monstar off joel kowalski. Willling to try it tomorrow at some point! The rouge today was fun. Perhaps i shouldve tried my creeker and new gopro mount at champlain or the pool though lol. Had a hard time rolling the thing and swam twice at elizabeth and below the dryer/machine. Still a substantial amount of ice along sides. Could potentiall be hazardous to a beginner or if unlucky . Id say at this time of year its def a class 3+ or 4 run. All in all a great day but i am pooped and out of shape. Thanks to bastien and max for helpin me out! :)

Dam! Sorry Luc, I always forget the camera guy! Hey Luc, can you post Christian's epic surf in the Super Hero, so I can figure out how to surf that Sewer Wave!

Try to be there tomorrow at SW Pool session...

Paul ::)

Hmmm... Luc, you remind me of this:

"You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time."

Now, a little quiz: where did the above quote come from?

I had to Google it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Eye_(song)

But I like the 1984 reference a lot.
