Hey paul, come pick me up Saturday if you want a paddling partner!
Level is at 3.3 right now, so either wave is ok, but Sewer might be nicer.
Ian, don't worry about ear plugs. The eddy is where storm drain overflow is discharged in the river through a tunnel, but frankly, I never saw any water coming out of there. You are actually paddling the main river current, people swim above it and below it in the summer. An anecdote: last summer, as I was peacefully surfing, a tennis ball drifted down right next to me, I could have picked it up. I immediately looked upstream and saw a dog on shore, with a sad look on his face: "I lost my ball..."
The wave is a the end of B?gin Street in Gatineau (the street begins at Boul. Tach? at the main entrance of the Gatineau Park). There's a park with a statue of Jean de Br?beuf, can't miss it.
