Tim bwbt

Hey, Tim again.  Once again it is the infamous Big Water Bacon Thursday.  Today Kalem and I attempted to get beatendown in a jackson duo (a double kayak) for double the beatdown.  Unfortunately, it was a lot tougher to catch Phil's Hole in it so the both the leaders of last week's beatdown were no where near the narliest beatdown.  Instead, Zack stepped up with an over a minute hand surf in right side Phil's to take the award.  Overall another sick day on the Ottawa and I'm looking forward to my remaining days here, where I can hopefully learn more tricks on the wave Garb.

Tim on Thursday!

Hey, It's Tim from NYC.  This is my second year as a keener. Today was Thursday, just an average day of the week for most, but for us Keeners a chance to brave the river gods in Phil's Hole on a day known as Big Water Bacon Beatdown Thursday.  Every Thursday we start our day off right with bacon.  Today,  Edward and I made candy Bacon preparing ourselves for a great kick off to the Thursdays that would follow.  Today I received the biggest beatdown award tying for a first place finish with a hand paddle (without my paddle) beatdown, which lead to my first swim in a year.  After a minute of pure terror being tossed and flipped, breathless, I pulled my skirt and swam.  There was no escape from Phil's, at least in my boat.  Overall a great day, once again a great experience from the Ottawa.
