To make a long story short I am fortunate to be alive. Another hiker down the trail drowned. The storm was not nearly as bad as this one but the state capital and many towns were under multiple feet of water. Pretty much every farmer lost their crops and many roads and bridges were destroyed. A year later on the exact day parts of the state got flooded again by a similar massive rain storm. These people will find their way but it was most certainly take time. Much of the help in Vermont came from locals and local excavators. Neighbors helping each other.

    How do you propose to deal with the huge amount of sediment that always ends up in the eddy areas on features like this? Also are there going to be more lower/mid level paddling features around this that paddlers can work on their skills like Carl thing Eddie’s and pealing out. Seems like this plan just serves higher level paddlers. Also - what about eddies that you can “hop” back up to the wave so you can re-run the wave without having to get out of the river. I do realize you could probably go back up the fish run. I will remind all those involved that there is a higher level whitewater park at the northern end of Woodfin that has many “natural” features that many of the better paddlers go to practice. Make it more interesting for intermediate paddlers if you want to serve more people with this structure. Has global warming and the almost certainty of drought in the future been considered with this project? I’m a paddler- higher intermediate - and glad this project is going to happen. I really hope it’s not just for a select few.

    • @MarcHunt
      @MarcHunt 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not sure excessive sediment will be an issue. High water events will tend to scour it away. Most large eddies in the FB nearby are not overwhelmed with sediment. Yes, some does accumulate sub-surface in very calm places, and the same will likely occur here. The by-pass channel is specifically designed to have a few large rocks offset just downstream in the run-out that will create eddies so that ferries, eddy turns and peel outs can be learned and practiced. There is simply not enough natural gradient in the river to provide a more extended course for skills development. As you point out though, downstream in the area of Ledges Park, natural gradient picks up and there is a lot of whitewater that is great for novice skills development. Regarding the Wave channel and whom it is designed for, yes the primary goal is to create a world class surfing feature suitable for freestyle and higher-skilled surfers, intended to be more ideal for surfing at a range of flows than any other place in the south. Certainly much much better than what Ledges Park provides in the way of surfing. The modeling does indicate that at flows below about 1500, it should be a great place for intermediate paddlers, including those without a 100% reliable roll, to learn surfing skills with confidence thanks to the calm water immediately below. And in so doing, build rolling skills and confidence. Because flow levels typically vary a lot over a season, intermediates may develop skills here and build confidence can continue to challenge themselves on days when the flow is a little higher. We think in this way, and given that it will be very close to people for park-and-play use, it will be a fabulous place for skills development over the course of time. The project design that includes all this was strongly influenced by the public engagement process that resulted in hundreds of inputs from the community. As for accessing the wave without getting out of one's boat, surfing the main feature will be easily accesible from the eddies below. Beginning a surf from upstream of the wave feature is not necessary or even preferred by most surfers.

    I’ve wanted to make something similar for years. Just stumbled upon it. You put a lot of work into this Marc. I worked down there for 25 years. The downstream ferry angle was the most important thing I learned. I appreciate that you recognize its importance and have shared this with the boating public. It’s not as important on smaller technical rivers as it is in big water. How long did it take you to make this?

I'm guessing I have about 150 hours in it. A lot of it was finding and getting permission to use video clips. I also started with limited editing skills in Premier Pro, so def some hours spent in that learning curve. Started out thinking of something simplre and limited. Obviously, it became a "textbook in video clothing..."
