Lets calm down for a minute here! haha.
Brandon did put rocks in the edy about 15-20 feet below the wave and the storm drain where the eddy end just to make it a tiny bit longer and give a little more time to make the eddy. Those rocks arent bigger than a dictionary and will all wash way and HAS started to wash away with the raising flows and levels. Im not sure what youre trying to say here but the city surely doesnt give a sh*t about some kids dropping rocks to make an eddy.. For all I care, they could be Inukshuks and no one would care or even post about it. That pile of rock Brandon made actually helped most of us make the eddy that one day Paul came out to film and I was there with the Project X64.. The wave was no different that what it was last year.
This doesnt change the characteristics of a wave 15 feet upstream. Lets not point fingers here, Ive heard quite a few of you talk about bringing rocks to Dessert Wave to create an eddy before. And some of us paddlers have at some point tried to improve a feature we were on or access to a feature.
Sewer Wave for as far as I can remember has been Dam, Ice, Storm Drain Flow and Level dependant. If the eddy is shitty, means the drain isnt flowing much. If the wave is too green on appropriate levels, means only the river left gates are opened, if the ice is gone on that rock shelf, the water will not "channelize" towards the wave and go over the rocks and so on!
Also, Ottawa and the NCR is right on a techtonic plate and small eartquakes can impact river bed just as Larger than normal springflows as most of you have seen with Center Wave at Champlain in the past.
If sewer wave looks shitty..it surely aint the fault of some tiny little rocks.
I went to Sewer Wave today and it was Stellar. 3 waves to surf, a massive eddy to catch!
