I am up for paddling but it will be level dependant.  OWL has not tweeted lately ... anybody got the level?  I have a friend from Montreal as well who will be up for a saturday paddle.

The level was 10.5 on Sunday.  I think it may have gone up a little with all the rain we had on Tuesday.

I will be at the WT takeout at 11AM.

What does 7 mean? It has been a while since I ram the middle at that level? Un we do the main... Does that mean we run Iron Ring? Is S-Bend there (the wave after iron ring)?

7 and trending down means we're approaching the level at which most paddlers switch to the main.

Middle:
S-bend (after Iron Ring) will still be pretty sweet.
Butterfly is an angry (but flushy) hole with the smoothest, fastest shoulder you'll ever surf.
Angel's kiss is still there, but very weak.
Upper no-name as always.
Lower no-name starts to get rocky, and the vampire gets angry.

Main:
Waikiki is on the low end.
Chopping Block is pretty good.
Coliseum has become significantly safer as the ledge will have dried up.


I'm hoping to join any of you who will still be up on Sunday.  Please let me know what time you'll be aiming for, and I'll meet you guys then and there.

Anybody up for a Sunday run?  Main/middle or one of each?

I'm up for Sunday, I vote for main but would be up for middle as well. Where and when are people meeting? I could also carpool if anyone wants to.

I'll be meeting a group at the put-in at 11:00.
The level is what I call the "debate team" level, as both channels are very fun.

I have room for 2 passengers and 3 boats, and am coming from Orleans.
Text 613 282 7416 if you need a ride.

Level was 6 3/4
Butterfly was bitchin'!
We spent too much time at Angel's Kiss - Butterfly was the bomb!
Gwenne and Sarah are there (overnight).
We will meet them at WT takeout at 11:00
