STAKEOUT: is that Special occation you know, like my Christmas your Christmas. that time a year we all hope and look forward to. The celebration of the Big Water, The melt, the friends, The big waves ... Mother Earth waking up from a long, dark and cold winter time to give birth to the most unbelievable river features and The most intense rages in the Planet.
S T A K E O U T ?
So after moving to the Ottawa Valley to beggin the much awaited 2013 Stakeout, The expectations were crazy high since water levels were already higher than the ones had in the past 10 years ... So you can imagine how much water we were receiving. As the characters were slowly showing up. We started rallying to different rivers looking for the best and biggest features for the moment.
One of them and probably one of the rowdiest features we got on was "Lucifers wave" on the Gatineau river in the Province of Quebec. located probably an hour and a half from the Ottawa Valley
Packed, load up and ready to head to the Gatineau river
-
Cargados, empacados y listos para partir al Rio Gatineau
- We spent the night over on the Gatineau after having some of the Craziest surfs you could imagine. Lucifers wave is pretty intense, its a sort of left curling wave as you surf with one gnarly wave hole kinda in the left side of it. There is so much water pumping through this thing that every two passes you receive this crazy crash of water from above you just like in an ocean wave. Anyways here I leave you a little edit I made for this wave of one sick pass ending in a World Class beat down HAHA ... Check it out AHHHH !!!

- We spent around two weeks driving to different wave spots and other big rapids. all around Quebec and Ontario areas. The next awesome wave spot we spent a lot of time surfing this springtime was "The Ruins " this place is just Epical Radical !!! Located in the surroundings of Ottawa Downtown. This wave is incredibly V shape and super fast specially shaped for combo moves, to get to this spot you need to ferry across and above the Concrete ruins what makes this spot so dangerous is the Ruins definitevely a place where you don't wanna end up
" The Ruins " Pictured from above sick shot of this crazy place ( V shape wave to the right of the photo & Ruins to the left of it. Bad Place!!! ) Thanks Ben Fraser ( CAN ) for the aerial Image
