Canadian cup 2011

Yeah life is still as great as always in the Ottawa valley! Last weekend was a busy one, we had the Canadian cup in Garburator wave. It was a bit foamie but lots of people show up to give their best, there was a lot of level with competitors all around the world. Everybody did great with many spectacular rides, big tricks... lot of fun! 

La vida esta genial como siempre en el valle del Ottawa! El fin de semana pasado estuvo muy ajetreado, tuvimos la copa de Canada en la ola de Garburator. Estaba muy pegajosa pero mucha se acerco a competir, mucho nivel con competidores de alrededor del mundo. Todo el mundo lo hizo genial, con rondas espectaculares, grandes trucos.... estuvo increíble!
