Hey just got the newest paddler and there is a picture of an OC-1 dropping what appears to be a huge slide intoa very narrow slot. My oc buddies and me have been debating what the rest of the falls look like. So does anyone have a picture or can you desribe these falls well? And soes anybody know if the paddler in the pic cleaned the line. Just needed a little light shed on the pic. Thanks

Is it a picture of some Canadian in an Esquif on some Canadian river? Does it look like he just slid down a dam?

Quote from Paddler:

Boater: Vincent Dupont
Location: Couaticook Gorge, Quebec
Photographer: Jock Bradley

yeah it seems as though its a dam, or a long long scrub down a long, long face. and yes i could agree looks like a blue nitro, or detonator.

sean paddling lately?
rivers look thawed mostly

That picture is really funky lookin'

From the picture alone, looks like he's in for an unpleasant landing.

Very strange, somewhat impressive?

i could go along with that, that was my first thought (color) however, maybe its me, maybe its the angle, but i cant see the indent that the boat has behind the middle. andit does look short enough, than again, from a vertige, alot of things look shorter.

I haven't seen the most recent paddler, and thus haven't seen the photo, however, I do have some idea of what rapid you're talking about... my buddy shaun was on that trip, and came back and was telling me about this crazy open boater (vince) that ran this crazy rapid.... I think it's the same one that is shown in the latter half of the H2Ho trailer:

I haven't seen the photos though, so you can let me know if that rapid shares some resemblance...

cheers,

Interesting. I had gotten an email from Ben Aylsworth (the guy who made that video that someone just put a link to on this thread) about rivers for my book. He had mentioned this run called Coaticook Gorge. He said it was very short and extremely close to the New York border. That's about all I know. I couldn't get that video to play, but he said he was putting it in his new video, so it's probably the same one.

That video is wild. The picture seems to be the same as part of it.
