Ottawa River - Phil's Hole Rodeo - Open Boat Beatdown
Normally I avoid Phil's like it was the plague. I dropped into rightside sideways. It was pretty bumpy and munchy to say the least. I as more scared surfing in there then my two runs going thru Buseater last summer.

FYI ... I made that hawaiin shirt many years ago ... and yes it was over top of my PFD which was on super tight.PAC wrote:Nice - who says big boats can pull off moves! I like the paddling top too but I did notice you were not smiling in all the frames! Whats up with that?
Is your camera back from the shop yet?
My ribs hurt the next morning
I was fricking scared on that ride so no smiling as i was trying to concentrate ... and no ... not back yet
My boat also won the best un-occupied ride as well after my ride was over

Phil's was in a funky mood last weekend. Could have been the level, don't know.
While I didn't participate in the rodeo (Angels kiss was too much fun to hurry down the river on Saturday), I tried to surf Phils on Sunday. I tried to drop in sideways, only to have it green out as I was dropping in and flushing me right through !
After four carries up and as many immediate flushes, I gave up !
Phil's is a lot of fun in a squirtboat. Hit it straight on, and you feel like a basketball during a slam dunk... !
The biggest beatings in Phils seem to happen when one tries to avoid it.
TGG!

Phils Rodeo
Nice work Colin. Loved the cartwheel attempt.
One question - do your pumps come on automatically when you're ejected from the boat?!?

Actually ... the battery was not installed at the time ... the only thing I had in there was my spare paddle.keez wrote:Nice work Colin. Loved the cartwheel attempt.
