Yes, lots of fun.
Thanks goes to Brendan for organizing and a special thanks to Annie-Pierre for coaching me through my first spins.

The rodeo was a lot of fun. Can't wait for the next one. Rumors are that the next one will be a hucking rodeo at Qyon Falls!

The wave was super-friendly last night.  I'll be a threat to the competition with my mad spinning skills!

I'll be there slightly after 6 if the commute goes smoothly.  See y'all there!

just an fyi, there is a big beach a 5 minitue walk on the bike path upstream of the sewer wave , good for roll practice etc....   this is also the put in to get out to remic wave in the middle of the river.

Due to popular request and dropping water levels tonight's rodeo/clinic will be held at the Sewer wave.

It looks like surfboarders have found that wave as well...
Photos are distorded, but still revealing.

I wonder if we put a set of skateboard wheel under our kayak if we could start from the top of the Gatineau range and zip past Begin street and up on the wave...

Sweet.

[GrahameH]

Begin is a pretty cool little street.  It has the entrance to Gatineau part on one end and a sweet wave on the other.

The name of the road off Lucerne is Begin.
So, if coming from Ottawa on the Champlain bridge, turn right on Lucerne (first right), then turn right again at Begin to the end and a park.
Put in is right downstream of the sewer.

Another way to get there if you cross from Chaudi?re bridge or Du Portage bridge:


 
Go on Alexandre-T?ch? BLV in Hull, go west towards Aylmer. After you pass the University of l'Outouais, go down the hill, still on Alexandre-T?ch?, at the Subway along the way, turn immediately left and go straight to the end of the road, where you will have to stop at the river. There is a statue in front of the river and the wave is just below where yuo can see it.
 
Hope this helps too,

If coming from Ontario...turn right as soon as you cross the bridge....go to the second stop sign (Store has orange canopy)....go straight to the big statue holding a paddle....get out of you car, walk past the big statue holding a paddle and you are at sewer wave....I used these very directions today and enjoyed some fun surfs.......


Cheers,


Chris
