When traveling to the Ottawa river many people have dreams of flying high and hucknig huge on Garberator, clean spinnning endlessly on corner wave, or bravely punching through Phil's Hole. However, tucked away in a corner off to the side in McCoy's Rapid is a ramp.

Anything goes on the ramp. Tricks range from blunts and clean blunts to pan-ams and airscrews, and the most popular trick was the face splat. Many of us were hucking huge, and wiping out hard.

 The ramp is always a good spot to have if the line at corner wave of baby face are too long. Most of us start off our session with a one or two rides down the ramp. We snap on our spray skirts and push off to start our slide down the ramp. The boats pick up a lot of speed as they near the kicker, and are launched up into the skies. Then the flight is ended with a big splash, and one happy paddler.
