05/07/2008 - One of Canada's largest rivers, the Rupert drains lac Mistassini into James Bay in North West Quebec.  The Rupert was used as an important trade route dating back to 1668 and in recent times has been a favourite multi-day wilderness trip among recreational canoeists.  On June 1st Patrick Camblin, Ben Marr, Joel Kowalski and Phil Quinn took the long drive north to Waskaganish hoping to find this classic river in flood.  3 days later the group took off the lower 80km section having found some enormous rapids separated by flatwater sections that would make any canoeist happy.  The Rupert is scheduled to be diverted into La Grande hydroelectric complex sometime in the next 12 months, another huge loss for paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

9 days in june... the crowds left and our girl came back to us... bussy baby... and with warm water... a solid week of heavy rains in the large northern watershed for the ottawa river made the unlikely a reality.... this doesn't happen very often - and somehow there wasn't anyone around... those that were here lucked out and got to surf this beautiful wave at great levels for 9 full days... enjoy the photos featuring tribe team members Anthony Yap and Patrick Camblin, along with Tribe farm team rippers Ben Marr, Dave Nieuwenhuis and Joel Kowalski...
