Days 3,4,5 of this northern Quebec classic featuring Joe Barkley, Willie Kern, Fred Coriell, Billy Murphy, Anthony Yap, Erik Boomer, John Grace, Pat Camblin and Tommy Hilleke. Also make sure to check out the video on LVM TV ...
The mission was simple, get to the bottom of the river in time to catch our ferry and avoid being stranded for an extra 7 days... The rest were just details and thoughts of the unrun gorge and the need to stay at river level if we were to make our ride were attempted to be pushed to the background..... The all-star team consisted of Tommy Hilleke, Erik Boomer, Willie Kern, John Grace, Fred Corriell, Joe Barkley, Billy Murphy, and Tribe pro team members Anthony Yap begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting and Pat Camblin. The video will be appearing on the next LVM... subscibe at www.lvmvideo.com
Rush, Charlie, and Patrick arrived ready to huck. Record snowpack in BC meant rivers were pumping. We got on some goods right off the bat with local Mikkel St. Jean bringing us to the ~60 foot sutherland falls at juicy flow and some other gems between revelstoke and neilson. on our way back to the coast we stopped in kamloops and, unfortunately, had our car broken into and had all the footy/photos stolen along with expensive camera gear, passports and all kinds of other stuff that's a pain to replace. We regrouped at skook with Ian Garcia, Tyler Bradt and the BC kids, and then headed out to find more drops... BC has the goods, enjoy the shots from after the theft.
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...
The crew continues the tour... Gaspe and onwards.
