In the world there are a lot of great waves to kayak on. There is one in particular that I know a lot of people can agree is one of the best or even the best in the world. This wave is Garbarator on the Ottawa river. Also known as garb, it is such a great wave for so many reasons. It is a very easy wave/rapid that you can portage or sneak down if you want to you can make it harder by punching it or taking the pipe line down. After running it, it is very easy to get into the eddie on the river left side. Once you catch the eddie you just have to paddle up it and most likely wait in a long line full of excited kayakers and then you can surf one of the best waves in the world. Me personally I struggle with catching garb but when I do I try to make the surf count. It is a great wave to do a lot of surfing tricks if you can like blunts, back blunts, panam, spins, shovit, round house, and many other tricks. With all of these things in mind you can see how so many people think this is one of the best surfing waves anywhere.
