UNLEASHED Quebec: MMXIX
Stage 1, Big Trick Style Video + Results presented by Jackson Kayaks
by: Kalob Grady
The sun sparked over the horizon, and mist rose over the Ottawa River; steam emanated from SEND’s coffee mugs on a uncharacteristically warm spring morning.

Stage 1 of UNLEASHEDxQuebec unfolded yesterday under the best conditions. Record breaking river flows have descended upon the Ottawa River basin and uncovered dormant giants from there sleep. Stage 1 took place in the Big Trick freestyle format on a newly discovered wave being called ‘The Rib’. Named for a unpredictable rib that forms through the middle of the feature, this wave is dynamic, rowdy and big. Typical Stakeout wave. 22 athletes from 8 different countries kicked off UNLEASHEDxQuebec 2019 in epic fashion. Competing in 2 heats, each group had 2 hours on the wave to throw the best 3 tricks in their repertoire. Combo’s count as 1 trick, and style, air and difficulty were rewarded.
