Topic: Thursday Evening Club Paddling at Champlain Bridge Is Baaack!!!

[lafreniere.luc]

Hey Bill, just in case... Jon Ward, Steve Turner and myself are heading to the Pumphouse tomorrow night. I'm planning on heading to Whisper's afterwards of course and I believe Jon and Steve as well. So we'll see each other there I'm sure otherwise.

Hi folks,

My older daughter, fresh back from a year in Vietnam, wants to paddle at Champlain this Thursday (Sept 5).
So if you can make there for around 6:00pm, the more the merrier...

Weird... Paul assures me he used the 'Reply' button. It appears that his reply ended up appended to my message instead of on its own, through a glitch in the forum. I know that the newest updates to the forum were applied recently--maybe it's related. Let's monitor this!

Paul, it is NOT acceptable to abuse administrator privileges by modifying other members' previously posted when they were posted as personal, i.e. not collectively. I already asked you to refrain from doing that. I you want to add something to a discussion, there is a 'Reply' button. For the record, I did not write the last sentence in this message.

But visit to the Pumphouse first--both pumps are on! A different kind of 'pump house', no beer...

See you at the Pump House!

If you want to surf Remic, you either park where Sewer Wave is (Begin st. in Gatineau), or in the Remic Rapid parking lot near the lookout bunker, on the Ottawa river parkway. If others want to try the Remic wave, the latter is where I will be at 18:00. Cheers!

Nice, what time? I'd suggest we meet on Begin street at 5h30 PM or so.  Is the rock where we used to wait emerged?  That was our biggest problem last time I went there, we had to time approach to leave enough time for the first surfer on the wave, yet still be not too far in the case of a swim, we could barely see the surfer from upstream.

I surfed the Remic wave last Thursday. The wave itself is stellar: smooth, glassy and very friendly... if you can catch it that is. And the water level is too high to walk back up in the middle of the river, you need to land on the Quebec side every time to get back up.

The Remic rapids are small and beginner-friendly, but I would say reliable rolling is required: While it would be completely safe (there are islands below), a swim there could be very long and involve a very long walk back...

I'd be up for a few circuits tomorrow, it's worth it when you're on the wave!

I would be down for an after-work session, if you can handle going with a relative newbie...

Hey,  just got my new playboat.  Anyone keen for a play session on Dessert wave Thursday?

Bate island or Remic? I will bring gear to Mike at Bate Island, but can go to Remic afterwards!
