Title: Hucking Clinic with Billy Harris - Thursday evening
Post by: Joanne on April 29, 2008, 08:43:12 AM

Hi there,
I (and Matt Grahame) were on a Billy Harris clinic on Sunday, and he offered to teach a hucking clinic at Quyon (Trick or Treat Falls) on Thursday evening.

It's a safe 8 foot waterfall, and easy to walk back up.

Cost is $60 per person, and I'm sure that Matt will back me up that this is a steal for the quality of the instruction.

He'll take up to 5 people, and right now, there are Heather and I (and maybe Sandra....)

He'll take pics and send them out to everyone after the clinic.

Woohoo!!!!! Let me know if you're interested!!

I could go, but only if I can figure out the ferry across to Quyon - driving around would take too long, and it's a little too far inland to paddle across ;)

Billy really knows what he's talking about.  I had a great time on Sunday and got some great advice to practice.

The directions to the ferry look pretty easy coming from Ottawa. Here is the link to the ferry's web site:

I was paddling with Billy today.  He mentioned that the clinic is full up.  Sandra, Heather, Joanne, and a couple other people. 

Just a heads up for any last minute people.

I will be there acting as Ray's loyal photo assistant.  (Ray is amazing!!)

The Quyon ferry is open.  They stuck the spring "OPEN" sign on their ad early in April.
