A Week On The Ottawa
25 07 2011July 17 to 22 2011
The week started with a spectacular thunder storm. It was quite a show, and luckily it only lasted one night before calming down to a wonderfully sunny and excessively hot week.
Monday wasn’t so bad, Maybe 30-35 Celsius and the paddling was great. We spent most of our time at Corner Wave, the level was 1 3/4 so corner wave was amazing. We played at S-Bend for a while (I worked on Phoenix Monkeys) and had a bow stall contest that I ALL MOST won . That night supper was great (as they always are at Liquid Skills), home made lasagna.
Tuesday was the same, Corner wave, Bow stall, S-Bend, the only difference was…..We ran Dragon’s Tongue! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!
Wednesday we switched to stern stalls in our contest which was a really good challenge.
Thursday I wasn’t felling to good so I tagged along and played video boater for the day which was lots of fun, got a few good shots to:).
Friday I was feeling much better and since it was the last day we decided to run the middle which was great. There was nothing at the lorn so we went to play at Chopping Block and Brain Douche, we jumped and did a seal launch off BFR. The last Rapid, Black’s, was amazing, we spent at least an hour the throwing huge loops and snappy spins and to add to the fun there was this rock that you could boof over and get lots of air!! Then came the no fun part packing and leaving, I said my good by’s and left for home. On the way back we stopped at Mr Spuds and ate a delicious Poutine.
The whole week was awesome and I am definitely going back next year, but luckily I don’t have to wait that long because I am going back in August
