Weekend Forecast 5/27/11

if the NWS is to be believed we could receive a visit from the so-ro wave this weekend!

This spring is getting ridiculous for how long rivers have stayed high, and the results are that this weekend there's still a ton of options for storming up a carve. As of now the Sharon Dam river right hole is running, as with the well enough wave, jungle bush wave, and 302 waves... the scoma could inch up into the range for the (now strainer free) excelsior hole, you may want to explore these levels for the moose river wave, or wilder wave, and if the NWS is to be believed there is the potential for the big T-storms rolling through tonight to kick the white river up into cliff  and so-ro wave  heights!!! So pray for rain, or think good thoughts at the universe, or whatever it is you do... AND go surf. Shalom. Jolyon

Nick goes big

Here's a photo update i've long neglected (sorry!) from local big-time paddler/mensch Nick Gottlieb on an early-season high-water day on the White River. Thanks for the photo Nick!

Going big on one of the many one-shot/hike&surf waves on the superlative white river at high water

Excelsior Strainer Out!

Good news! The strainers that were in the backwash to excelsior hole on the mascoma river are gone due to recent high water and "someone's" mad lumberjack skills. Sadly the scoma dropped through the good range too fast to hit it this week, but hopefully we haven't seen the last of it for the season. Peace. Jolyon

Weekend Forecast 5-20-11

Hey people, enjoy the unseasonably persistent high levels and go boating! This weekend you've got the Sharon Dam, Well Enough and maybe Jungle Bush Wave, maybe Bellows Falls Wave. It's doubtful that the sign wave will get low enough with all this rain, but maybe the high levels on the scoma will wash out that strainer on the excelsior hole for when the water drops again. Here's hoping. Cheers! Jolyon
