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!

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

Champlain Thursday after work!

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.
