'09 Stakeout Part 4 - Searching for Waves

The main goal of the Stakeout is to find new waves.  We paddle rivers in flood and search for spots with potential, sometimes we find waves and sometimes we don't.  Waiting for levels to rise is often involved.  Here some photos from a fun but not particularily productive part of the '09 Stakeout.  Thanks to Steve Fisher for some of the shots.

'09 Stakeout Part 2 - The Ruins

As the Stakeout rolled on we were graced with some quality days at The Ruins... Just minutes from downtown Ottawa, The Ruins is a fast and fun wave formed by water consticted by the remnant walls of an old mill.  There are major hazards (fatal sieves) formed by some of the other structures so some local knowledge/common sense is a good idea before paddling out.

Just another typical stakeout situation... We waited and the waves came, starting with some buseater action.  Then the level rose and the dormant monster awoke.  GLADIATOR.  Check out the new Kayak Session for info on this incredible wave.

10/04/2008 - This is the 'real' Africa.  The river is banked by untamed wilderness full of dangerous animals, and the rapids are enormous, difficult and risky to scout - this river is not for the faint hearted.

Madagascar - Manakazo First Descent

15/02/2008 - The Manakazo river proved to be the highlight of the trip; 3 days of high quality whitewater including slides, waterfalls and technical rapids.  The boys put on this first d with only an old 250,000 to 1 scale map from 1969 (the latest edition available in Mada), with hopes of finding a bridge somewhere downstream and counting on their driver to find the same bridge.  They arrived 3 days later successfully descending this classic section and leaving only 3 drops un run.  Here are some of the photos from this incredible river.
