Why McCoy’s is so epic! - Cian Butterly

   

McCoy’s rapid is definitely one of the best rapids on the Ottawa simply because there’s so much to do there such as.....

   Epic Beatdowns
Both Saddlers and Phil’s hole provide some of the best beatdowns out there. It’s impossible to watch any keener video without seeing some boast getting trashed in right side Phil’s. Despite the crazy power these holes have, they are still ridiculously safe. All of the water that runs through Phil’s flows straight into a gigantic eddy making rescues super easy. 

   Corner Wave
By far one of the nicest play spots on the river. Corner wave is steep and green. For epic clean blunts and spins this is the place to be. Even though it’s diagonal, can be hard to catch at certain levels and the eddy is real difficult to catch. This wave makes up for it by just being pure awesome. 

   The Football Eddy
Swimming this huge swirly eddy is one of the very first things that we do at keeners. Not only is it super fun, it also teaches valuable whitewater swimming skills that are absolutely essential for the next 3 weeks. 

   Horseshoe
Depending on the level horseshoe can be whatever you want it to be. A hole, a wave, a really sticky and beaty mix of the two. Anything your mind can conceive; horseshoe can do it. 

   Baby face
This beautiful introduction to surfing bigger waves is easy to surf and just unbelievable fun. Babyface is great for practicing new moves and having a great time overall. 


But the main reason why McCoy’s is so epic is that it’s right beside keenervile!
