Hi my name is Wade Peek, and here are some DO’S and DONT’S of the Ottawa river.
Absolutely don’t drop in to surf a wave/hole from the top of a rapid, when there are other paddlers waiting in a below eddy.
Absolutely do support and cheer on all other paddlers.
Absolutely don’t throw a snit when you miss or flush out of a wave. A snit is were you get so angry that you sometimes slam your paddle on your cockpit, and occasionally say push-up words.
Absolutely do claim your surf, for example a fist pump in the air showing your stoke. This may be hard to do especially during competition day with oks Keeners, when you are not super stoked on your surf.
Absolutely do wait your turn in the eddy before a surf.
Absolutely don’t snake people in line for a surf wave.
Always try to have good ediquette on the water and look out for others.
