Today was a lot of fun. Sewer was very big, a bit flushy for our shorter boats but super easy to stay on when you  hit the right spot. Afterwards Christian, Bill, John, Alex and I went to harrass poor Meagan and poor Kevin at Paddle Shack and then we went to Whispers for good drink and food (including hot chocolate)!

Great day all around. See you next weekend!

The Level is 58.86 this morning so I went and checked out the spots to make a choice on where I will be Today. Champlain is o.k. One Green wave in the front and a small wave with a foampile after that.. Eddy seems good to paddle up with a bit of an effort but not recirculating. Big eddy for alot of paddlers.. Pic #1

Sewer wave is a BIG Green wave and there are surfers there today! Once you get on you will be able to stay on but I dont think you can pull moves or back surfs.. Eddy is big and easy to catch! Pic #2 & #3

And Deschenes keeps being awesome Nice Big wave with a foam pile! Super Easy to catch from above.. Ferries on both side and a nice curler at the bottom with a bit of a hole after! Makes it fun even if you flush! Pic of me yesterday! #4

i dont know if ill be seeing any of you guys as I will be at deschenes for sure from 12-4! All the pro paddlers are gone to Bussy today so im sure there will be not that many paddlers there! Hope to see some of you and have fun today!

Turns out deschenes playspot was SICK!!! Nice Recirculating eddy on the channel right.. about 18 feet long.. Nice eddy on the left.. same length.. Wave is big and easy to stay on! Hell I suck and i can stay on there for ever! If you flush its about 100 yards walk back upif you can catch the eddy! Best day on the river for me so far! Front surf, back surfs, loops, blunts, mcnasty, you can do anything on this wave (not me but adam chapell does!) Pics and video in my (Water Levels) thread!

Ill probably be there cause The wall will probably hve many paddlers and sewer wave alot of surfers. Dont mean to highjack your thread Paul, sorry.. just pointing it how it was today!

[ChristianG]

Sounds good! Level's at the (approx.) old 3.7 m, and going up! --C.

[JohnCyr]

Either Sewer wave OR Deschenes in between the walls will be awesome! Britania reaching 58.6 tonight!
Im going to be there a little earlier if I find a buddy to go with!
