Ryan Whetung's 'High Water Ottawa Summer" report

September 15, 2008

By Ryan Whetung

Hello Everyone,

We had an amazing summer on the Ottawa River. The levels were super high this season due to a good snowpack and lots of rain. The weather wasn't always so good for a tan... but it was perfect for Buseater wave!

We have had Buseater levels on the Ottawa in 6 of 8 months so far this year including August!

It was a good season for me with lots of paddling. As Ottawa Kayak School Director, I had the opportunity to paddle with lots of fun people from all over the world. I also had a few weeks to coach with our Keener Program for junior kayakers. Things are a little bit quieter now and the water has dropped to lower levels... but I'm still hoping for Buseater in September???

See you on the river soon!
Ryan
