I simply love mine 8) Living in one of the world's top play boating area (Ottawa - Gatineau ) It's truly a fantastic boat.

But for river running... :roll: It's got one speed, slow. If you accelerate real hard you'll get in 1st gear and as soon as you stop paddling it will immediately come to a stop ...

I've often taken smaller boats on ww trips(for the obvious reasons) using my Esquif Canyon to carry the gear and the small boat of choice. I tie the boat behind me in the Stern, on top of the float bag perpendicular to the Canyon (T shape).

OK it catches in the wind and is not very aesthetic, but ...

I'm surprised no one came up with this obvious one.

To rescue someone, in and out of boat in a sec. Throwing a throw bag. Power and leverage from the boat. Kneeling is lot more powerfull then sitting.

A few years ago running the bottom moose, my buddy Vincent Dupont was being trashed at the base ...

I'll take your word for it and appolgize to open gate

No apology required, I know where I stand as far as open boating.

Take a look at last year's calendar, month of march it'll give you an idea :wink:

Your post just made it sound like it would be awesome to have these in our back yards. what ...

How come we don't see you running these awesome waterfalls ???

The one at the beginning of your vid looked great

BTW all rivers close to here do not require rain, just no ice


Keep feeding us this good stuff !

I will spend september in Canada, actually it's a road trip, but it will lead to Nova Scotia where the skookumchuck wave has it's home. Probably I won't be skilled enough for this one until then, but getting some information will never be for the worse anyway. Anyone knows this it? I've heard it ...

Cute stuff again Mr Louie ! Toreau sure looks good in that water

What's this thing about canadians and scouting ??? You don't scout rapids in the US ?

You should go by '' If you can't swim paddle hard instead ''

Keep the C

Nice stuff ! Changes my perspective on your neck of the woods

Now all we need to see are C boats pics and vids in that water

Tks for sharing !

Cool,

What is the name of that huge river where Kelsey is blunting ! Any more river reference ?

Tks

Tons of water here in solid format

Show us the vids !

+ The praries suck for paddling.


FYI, the prairies offer world class paddling!

May be our lack of knowledge on your great part of our country made me think the same has Gonzo...

Do you have any links or recommendations for futur WW trips in your area ? Educate us :)

We're thinking Nahanni ...

Hey Insolence !

You forgot to answer the Great Gonzo... where will you be ???

Our Nation's capital Ottawa/Gatineau area has superb(warm) white water at that time of year, and contrary to mexico Louie saying, water is warm here a solid 5 months / year. Tons of OC outfitters also.

And we have ...

If it's not the stellar canoeing, it's the skiing! And I will be missing both. A ski pass I've not used yet and will not use at all this year because of a benign brain tumor that hemorrhaged in October

Mexico is definetely on the hit list with all the nice scenery we've been seeing recently, and having met Jim and knowing the class is organization has.
Just waiting for my little guy to get a bit older to better enjoy these rivers and creeks.

Avatar is cold, that was the end of a 53km(40 miles ...
