Title: Champlain is ok
Post by: ChristianG on April 15, 2013, 09:24:54 PM
Jacques and I surfed at Bate Island tonight. Nobody else was there. 2nd wave is good and friendly, not trashy at all. It's a good ride, much faster than Sewer Wave. Long boats/strong paddlers can also surf the 1st wave. Exiting 2nd wave voluntarily entitles you to a difficult paddle back up the 'eddy'.  Water cold however...

Oh! I forgot to add the standard 'Even Paul could paddle it!"

Bad shoulder or not...

See you soon, Paul!

Well sewer is not worth it now.

Its greened out. Surfable but hard to get on. Eddy is all but nonexistant so you have to carry up every time.

Was at Champlain tonight and it is getting better by the minute!

No, I did not paddle as I can barely turn the key to the right to start the car....

Paul ;D
