standing waves

I'm curious as to the location of the wave. I do a lot of whitewater kayaking in the area, and I don't recognize it. Looks like fun.

If anyone is interested in attempting this sort of thing, there are a number of amazine standing waves on the Ottawa river. When the level gets to between 0 and -3 (check owl rafting website for online gauge - usually august) a wave called Garberator forms on the main channel. Super fast, shoulder to head high. Lots of other waves on the river but this one would likely be the best.

Good luck.

a friend of mine showed me this and apparently he's the only one that knows about it, so i cant say where it is without asking him first.just drop me an email, i'll ask him and maybe we can all go next time it rains. its about 2 hours northeast of toronto. it was the first an only time i surfed that, and it was awesome. for a bodyboarder from morocco surfing a standing wave in a river is about as odd and exotic as it can get. and let me know if u're ever headed to the ottawa one, i live in scarborough.
