Hi All,

Ben will be at Champlain tomorrow at around 6pm. He's not following this thread, no access. If you want to be on camera, just show up at Champlain and afterwards at Whispers we can talk about our plans for the weekend. Me I would like another round with staircase if the level up! See you guys and gals tomorrow,

Cheers,

Paul

Im down for either or.. Champlain is nothing right now.. Deschenes is bigger and funner on the ontario side as far as running laps go...pumphouse actually has something to do there... Hed need a pretty darn good zoom if we go play in the center waves...

IMO, best locations would be :

Deschenes, running laps on the ON side or Lower JJs area along shore.
Pumphouse
Top waves at Deschenes for surf.. thats all there is right now.
A really good zoom would make Dessert look awesome!

Keep us posted on where itll be!

Hey CDB,

 My name is Ben Walker. I am producing and shooting a short video to help promote the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup here in Ottawa. I was hoping to get some shots of people paddling and kayaking on the river to illustrate one of the many ways that people can enjoy the river. If you have any information about any events where I might be able to film some people kayaking or even suggestions on where to go to catch some people having fun on the river that would be greatly appreciated. One location I had in mind was the course near or maybe its even called the Pump House, I saw one site that called it the Tailrace. Recently when I would stop by there I have not seen anyone doing the course. Is there a specific time you would recommend heading down there to check it out.

Thanks for you time,

Ben
