Ottawa River 2002 Wrap-Up


Liquid Skills Showdown Sept 10–17


 Christie Dobson gets steady before launching onto the Garberator. An unexpected drop in water levels made ferrying out and sticking the wave more difficult. But the Riot Garberator Get Down must go on, so organizer Ken Whiting and Dan Gavere built a ramp, allowing competitors to slide off Moby’s Dick just upstream of the wave and avoid the downstream momentum. photo Rob Faubert.


 World Champion Eric Jackson dominated the Liquid Skills Showdown. Placing third in the Aquabound Horseshoe Huckfest and 5th in the Riot Garberator Get Down, EJ finished third on the U.S. National Team behind Jay Kincaid and Andrew Holcombe. photo Rob Faubert.

“I’m gonna knock you out.” Learning it’s not polite to hit a girl, Yonton Mehler gets slugged by Canadian paddler Laura Cockins. The


Boatwerks.net Beach Bash started with a BBQ with a side of beef and pig on a spit. After a full meal and a few drinks, the gladiator jousting and boxing could have been the most dan- gerous component of the seven-day event. photo Rob Faubert.
