On Wednesday morning we got up at 6:30 and loaded on to a the bus and a van to drive 2 hours to the Petawawa river. When we got there we had to walk an hour hike to get to the put in and when your hiking with a Zen it really hard. But after that the day hit awesome we got in our boats and slid into the river. The first rapid was really fun it was about a 8 foot drop which we ran a few times. On the second rapid there was an easier line down the left side of the island and on the right there was a steep slide into a big hole. When I ran it I started of right and paddled hard and when I can to the shallow part I stopped and flipped over. Luckily I went through the hole upside down which helped me go through the hole instead of getting stuck. When I got to the eddy I looked at my boat and saw a huge gash in the bottom of my boat. Luckily it wasn't all the way through and I was able to continue. After that there were some more rapids that were really fun but one that really stood out was the last one. It started out really shallow with little waves and as I was going through I saw someone who got pinned. So I cot an eddy and jumped out of my boat ran up to him and flipped him over. He was fine and we both went into the eddy behind an island right before another 8 foot drop. I went off first and it was pretty fun. After that drop there was some fun wave trains until the take out. When we got to the take our we loaded up, got dressed into try clothes and drove back to Keener vile.
