Title: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: ChristianG on April 05, 2011, 06:13:48 PM
Sunny, +10 degrees C, water slightly rising... and cold. Last Sunday, the front wave held up to four paddlers at a time, very friendly surfing. If you get off the wave voluntarily, you can paddle back up if you're fast enough. Otherwise, there's a rope. See you there! --C.

Tonight was great. The 1st wave held two boats pretty much all the time. Heck, I had at least two 15 minute-plus surfs! Good way to get a feeling for the carving abilities of your playboat. Plus the people at Whispers remembered us and brought us our 'team' nachos! The river now is strange because at this gauge value, there shouldn't be much and instead we get a nice green wave and a quiet hole-like 40-foot wide feature.   Cheers all! --Christian

Level will be at 59.0 by the time I fisnish work! Waves/Holes are gonna be AWESOME!

Even at 58.8 yesterday, the eddy would recirc. you back to the top! The should of that hole was also steep and real fun!

Ill be there around 4pm ;D
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!

Champlain tonight (May 12).

Take advantage of the wave while it's there, won't last much beyond the weekend at this rate...

Refreshments and weekend planning at Whispers later!

On tonight--possibly last good time for the Champlain eddy service...
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: ChristianG on May 24, 2011, 07:08:24 PM
Well... I just biked over to Bate Island. As predicted, the eddy is gone. The waves are a lot smaller but still surfable if you don't mind walking every time.

Still, Thursdays are still a good time to go there to practice rolling, bracing and other techniques, or to run the middle waves. And of course there is free nachos at Whispers where weekend plans are usually discussed...

--Christian
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!

Not going to Champlain.. passed by after work... Eddy is in if you can call it an eddy.. wave is alright i guess.. kinda like sewer when its big in the winter.. just shallow. Not worth getting out and wet for in my opinion but hey.. thats just me.  ;)

Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: ChristianG on June 10, 2011, 11:58:47 AM
Indeed there is nothing left at Champlain, except for a rope... The Britannia level dropped by about 0.5 m, and that means that the level just below Bate Island dropped by close to 0.75 m. And the center is just current, there are no waves really.
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: kvr99 on June 15, 2011, 11:50:28 AM
Anyone, newcomers or otherwise, up for a bit of rolling practice after work this Thurs prior to the Saturday event?  I'd certainly appreciate solidifying things a bit myself before getting "worked" at the bottom of some thundering waterfall this weekend...
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: JohnCyr on June 15, 2011, 11:53:21 AM
I will most likely be there teaching a few things like rolls and strokes etc.. What time were you thinking of going?
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!

That's great!  I was thinking 5ish myself ... have to leave by 7
Title: Sea Kayaks Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: JohnN on June 15, 2011, 02:22:46 PM
For the interest of Christian and any others with sea kayaks, Alfred and I will be there in sea kayaks for some wave action.  The level is such that I think we should be able to attain upriver on the Que side to the Bridge and cycle/run the middle channel, bounce, bounce, splash, splash...

Cheers,
John
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: JohnCyr on June 15, 2011, 02:29:04 PM

Ok, I'll bring my sea-ish kayak! Make sure you watch this video beforehand:

Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: kvr99 on June 23, 2011, 12:02:51 PM
Any newcomers or others interested in doing some practice at Champlain tonite, early-ish?  I'm heading over around 5, have to leave by 6:30 or so.

BTW, thanks to CDB for an awesome welcome last weekend!

On that topic, to those patient souls who witnessed my swim-a-thon and held my boat grimacing as I stood upright and surveyed McKoy's rapid like Christopher Columbus  - moved my seat forward 1.5 inches, got me some booties, scrunched up into my knee braces, went to sunny Westboro beach, and ... BLAMMO - 10 straight rolls without a hitch.  I don't know if size matters, but fit certainly seems to.

Hope to see you 2-nite ... cheers   -kurt

Wow, I discovred so many things about my paddling style to improve upon tonight. Never to old to get better though. Better start with the practice!

Paul ;D
Title: Lower JJ's this Thursday!
Post by: JohnCyr on August 02, 2011, 09:12:01 AM
Well.. the level is going down up in Beachburg..so will it here in the city!

Level was 57.8 this am and im pretty sure lower jjs is starting to come in! I will go check tonight or tomorrow.

Any interest on paddling there this week on evenings? Possibly have the cdb Thursday meet there?

Title: I heard Lower JJ is Good!
Post by: Paul Potvin on August 02, 2011, 10:39:04 PM
Or should be good by Thursday. A Bit Flushy now, but getting there!

See you at Champlain next Thursday (6PM) and then onwards to lower JJ (Desches rapids-+-4 kilometers westwards on the Quebec side, chemin B?gin)!

Cheers,

Paul ;D
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: ChristianG on August 02, 2011, 10:46:21 PM
Why don't we do that. JJ wave itself is not necessarily a wave suitable to beginners wanting to practice, but all the whitewater below the ruins is beginner friendly, scenic, there's room for everyone, and it's all only a few meters from shore. By the way, the site is good for BBQ or a bonfire.
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: AdamN on August 04, 2011, 09:59:20 AM
Paul and/or Christian,

Can you give directions to JJ wave?  Where do you park?  I don't see Chemin Begin on Google maps.  I see the ruins and the rapids..

Cheers,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Here are the GPS co-ordinates for the parking spot (pulled from Google Maps): 45.38085,-75.80072

Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!

Hi Bill

Looks like that's the coordinates for the corner of Rue Martel and Rue Rosenes (that was my original guess).

Thanks,

Adam
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: JohnCyr on August 04, 2011, 02:21:22 PM
Yeah! Begin is for Sewer Wave. Paul mustve mixed the two.. Park at the end of Martel!
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!

Me? Mixed up? Must be talking about another Paul...

Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: ChristianG on August 04, 2011, 02:48:53 PM
There can be only one Paul. As for Deschesnes rapids, refer to the picture below. The gauge level is at 57.75, like the old 2.75, and the wave should begin to have a foam pile but still quite green. Worth looking at, but don't expect miracles!

Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: JohnCyr on August 05, 2011, 06:46:28 AM
Yeah.. CJ went yesterday and said it was real sh*tty. But again..level is still a bit too high.

Hi,

Is anyone going tomorrow or are you going to the pump house.
I am thinking of renting a boat at MEC and come practice my roll.
Would the pumphouse be a good plce for that: I have never been.

Thanks ;-)
Caroline
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: ChristianG on August 17, 2011, 04:23:22 PM
The Pumphouse is NOT a good place to practice rolling at all. Champlain is, however. So yes, go ahead, rent a boat and go to Bate island (and don't forget to bring dry clothes). I should be there to play as well (I need to try the new outfitting in my boats), then we'll move to Whispers to discuss weekend plans!

Kelly... I studied latin many years ago (private school in Chicoutimi). 'semper' means 'all the time' or 'always', 'ubi' (as in ubiquitous) means 'location' or 'where'... 'sub' of course means 'under'... Are you saying something about being underwater, 'sub aquae'? BTW, I hid your under there.

Je vais probablement y etre mais je vais me deplacer vers Lower JJ's, une vague a surf en amont de Champlain... ou bien Dessert Wave, en aval de Champlain. Le niveau est parfait pour ces deux vagues.

John
Title: Re: Champlain Thursday after work!
Post by: ChristianG on September 21, 2011, 10:11:49 AM
En effet--soit JJ, soit Remic, ou soit les vagues du milieu au pont Champlain pour ceux qui veulent pratiquer (l'eau est encore chaude).

En passant, il est possible d'aller ? la vague JJ et de se d?placer le long des rapides Deschesnes: il y a beaucoup ? y faire. Je vais proposer quelque chose!

The 'Dessert' wave (aka Remic wave) is most likely the only surf option in town. The river level is still too high for the JJ wave, I was there Sunday: no foam pile. So let's meet at Bate Island at 6 pm and decide what we want to do. --C.

CarolDulu, Martin wants to do some paddling at Champlain tonight, & he has some cash for you, so as soon as he gets home from school, (around 2:30) then I will pick him up & expect to be at Champlain around 4 o'clock. I still have to confirm this with him, but he was bugging me last night to go.

I'm inviting CdB members to Whispers tomorrow at 7pm to talk about AGM nominations,
( draft Christiang as new CdB Prz..... shhhh, don't tell him, it's a surprise..., he, he, he....), plus who is paddling what, where, how and who got his or her ass handed to them last week, (not telling....:), but there exists a very, very, very short vid with the words, "holy s.. at the end) , etc...

Let me know that you are attending and I'll reserve a table and get us enough nachos.


See you at Whispers Thursday, 7PM...ish!

Paul ;D

P.S. I'll be done after 21:30, so if people are still at the pub, I can swing by...
