After our quick return to Montreal to interview surfer Jean Louis, and whipping past our spot at Lake Ontario and some potentials at Lake Superior (both to no avail, but Superior was close, I think we missed surf able waves by no more than a few hours and in one spot I could see long breaking waves, but we were up a 100ft cliff) we have landed back in the Prairies with a forecast of Snow. Yip pee!!
I've already filmed and surfed in Manitoba and no one from the Manitoba River Surfing Association is returning my e-mails, so we're now in Saskatchewan. Tomorrow we'll be heading to a Wave that forms below the Diefenbaker Dam near Outlook, SK.
I've tried to surf this once before, and there was no wave there because of "high levels", so my fingers are crossed for this attempt.
On a note unrelated to production, we have discovered 5 ticks on our dog Junior. This is the most recent in a long line of embarrassing and disgusting moments in the life of Junior on this trip. His escapades include, but are not limited to:
-pissing on Kathryn's aunts dog... twice, and obviously on purpose.
-pissing on Kathryn's aunts floor
-shitting on Kathryn's aunts floor
-rolling in dead fish (twice)
-rolling in shit (on several occasions. one was a poopie diaper)
-rolling on a dead bird carcass
-attacking at least one puppy
-attacking several full grown dogs
-pissing on the ottoman of one of my interview subjects. (Sorry Ben and Kate!!!)
As you all can see, Junior is a charmer just like his owners!!!
