This year the Ottawa river is at a raging flow of 12 feet, 13 feet higher than the river I knew last year. But because the river is the Ottawa and in my opinion is one of the best river in the world the flow increase only makes it more huge, fun and exciting. Yesterday I got to surf the biggest wave i have ever surfed in my life on the loren rapid called mini bus just below where garb usually is. Mini bus is a bit misleading in the name because it's not that mini and is indeed ruffely the size of a bus, I swear it's the size of a small house. My first time dropping in I was to far left and flushed but after watching other keeners drop in and shred it coming out all goods, I just went into the meat of it and found how awesomely fun and smooth it was I managed to get a spin and a round house on the monsteress wave!!
A wee bit farther down the river are the whirlpools, last year they weren't really there and we would spend quite a bit of time attempting to get a slight pull down and now the levels up I managed to get a solid underwater beat down with my whole boat submerged underwater it was kinda pretty awesome:))
Keeners has been awesome so far and I can't wait for the next 2 weeks I'm hoping that the water might go even higher!
Hi mum and dad!
We are so happy you didn't miss the bus!! Mum, dad, Max, Otie
