Title: Beaver Fest
Post by: Jeremy Poulin on July 02, 2012, 09:46:53 PM: I know its still 2 months away, but who is going, or thinking about going??
There are 3 sections, all release on this weekend only! Great river, links below! Most people paddle it in a creeker, thats definatly my call!
Taylorsville (The easiest section)
http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/2612/
Moshier (A little harder, but not too bad. There is one section of the Moshier section, The Moshier Falls section, some people walk (myself included lol) but the rest is great fun)
http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/2613/
Eagle (Very creeky, looks fun, kicking myself for not running it! Very pool drop)
http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/2612/

Think about it, its a great fest!

Taylorville releases: September 3, 5, 10, 24, 25

Eagle releases: September 4, 5, 10, 24, 25

Moshier release: September 4.

I'd go more than once if possible! --C.

See you there

This is what you missed last weekend: Jacques-Cartier Tewkesbury section, once at low level and another time at significantly higher level, the Tourilli at low water and the Nielson at a level suitable for a 'relaxed' first time (so they say)... That I would call epic. I hope your long weekend here made up for what you missed! Cheers... --C.

Post by: Jeremy Poulin on July 04, 2012, 06:28:25 AM: Man, don't rub it in, I'm so bummed, but I promised friends sometime ago that I'd help them move that weekend. I did have a good weekend, but wish I could have come!
On a semi related note, I'm trying to get people to come to the Malbaie on the weekend of 18 Aug. I emailed Jacques and Bast, interested?? I hear theres a 30'er :D

Post by: Jeremy Poulin on July 04, 2012, 12:09:06 PM: Its pretty pool drop, with careful scouting, I think we'd be ok without a guide. Although I wouldn't turn one down lol

Title: Re: Beaver Fest
Post by: ChristianG on July 04, 2012, 07:01:22 PM: I'd be up for it.
Title: Re: Beaver Fest
Post by: Jeremy Poulin on July 04, 2012, 08:01:50 PM: Good to hear Christian! Looks like we'll have a decent crew to go. Jacques hasn't said yes yet, but did sound stoked!
Anyone know camping and other logistics?
Also, who else has a truck? Apparently the road is pretty full on.
Just points to ponder

Post by: Todd on July 05, 2012, 12:42:46 PM: I'd be keen for the malbaie, and I have a truck. But I can't do the 18th weekend, but could do the previous weekend if that works for everyone else.

Post by: Jeremy Poulin on July 05, 2012, 04:33:57 PM: My August is booked solid, 18th is my only free weekend

Post by: jonyak on July 05, 2012, 04:50:30 PM: The malbaie is quite the drive, like 4 hours northeast of quebec city.

Count me out.

AhAhAh I have a scrath on my head from the first rapid on the section Fish Hatchery but the problem was my last boat Riot Snipper,it is easier stucks in the holes because it misses speed.
Now whit my BiG RiOt MagNuM 80 I dont have this problem this boat is perfect for me It has a good speed, good flotation specialy since i get a new fiting inside
JohnCyr si tu cherche une mani?re pour arranger le dosier arri?re du Magnum j'ai bricol? un syst?me de serrage qui a un tr?s bon soutient pour le dos. Le dosier reste haut ce qui favorise un bon soutient quand on dive ou boof.
