One of the best after-work activities. Unfortunately South-Eastern Michigan lacks much in the way of whitewater, but the level was pretty good on the only play wave around. There aren't good eddies servicing the wave, so if you miss it your first time through you can ether pull yourself back in with a rope or just paddle on down to the smaller 2nd and 3rd waves (2nd not pictured, it's pretty good as well).

This is my first footage with a Canon 5d Mark II -- stock settings on the camera, and no post production touch-up. It took me over a week simply to figure out how to edit this footage, as it's much too big for my Vegas Pro 8. I ended up having to get Adobe Premiere CS5, which edits smoothly with the raw 5d files. It will take me some time to get the hang of Premiere though...
