Spent the day there with Todd. There are 3 waves to surf. They all surf very well (well..for Todd)!

I wouldnt recommend going upside down alot but its fine, thats what helmets are for!

In my opinion, if all you want is to paddle and get a workout, Go ahead! I had lots of fun!

Martin, depending what time I get off work wednesday, I will be able to go.. Most likely not before 2pm though!

We'll need to take a look, the river level is not very high right now. --C.

Yeah... Level went down and wave almost gone, coffee in sheltered environment proved to be the more attractive option... --C.

Nobody likes paddling in 90km winds?

A boat that long??? You should be able to stay on both the first and second wave at the same time!!!

Jeremy, Carine and Marie-Eve said they will meet us there at 2PM.

Come surf with me Christiang, Todd and perhaps Bill at Champlain Saturday at 2PM. Supposed to go up to 5 Celsius and both the front and second wave are very surfable. Hot Chocolate and Nachos at Whispers Pub afterwards!
