Nice JN,

I agree with Paul: these are nice videos.
It gives me temptation to go play ther again  ;D

No, do not worry Christian; I have learnt my lesson  :D

See you guys at Bates Island tomorrow; I got a new paddle.
A bent shaft AT 191cm.
I got lucky!

Cheers,

Cool

Interesting point about le Mur. Looks worse than where I was. I've seen some of EJ's Buseater videos, but this one really shows what an awesome wave it is. THX Dr. C.

For those who need a video depiction of the consequences of hugging the river left shore at Le Mur (Miss Dulude take notice here), here a good video by Clive's Eye:

Notice how hard they are paddling just NOT to get sucked back up into the hole...

Here's Lucifer, at a higher level:

Now, if you wonder about the line to take in Haute Tension, here's a suggestion:

On a different river, about the line for Mckoy's rapids:

Finally, something to show your faraway friends:

PS, for old schoolers: the next video was filmed at least 9 years ago in Chambly. Starting at 0:39, there's a guy in a Riot Booster. Doing neat tricks in such a long boat. And yes, that's a young Steve Fischer...
