Topic: Another playboating session with Billy Harris anyone?

[AdamN]

I would be interested in option a) run river, stop at Pushbutton for clinic and then continue on with the rest of the river....

Just a suggestion.

Saturday 2PM clinic at Pushbutton is a go!

So far:

I will hang out with you guys and gals for the clinic.

So the question is:  should we run the whole river *and* do the clinic?
The last clinic was definitely a good 3 hour workout.   

Options:

a) run whole river and do clinic.  If this is what most people want to do I suggest a non-stop paddle from Pushbutton to takeout after we are done the clinic.
b) run from top and take out at the Lorne after the clinic
c) park and play at the Lorne with clinic only.

 
Please post your preference so that we can plan shuttle accordingly.

Adam, being a poor working class person myself, I might be interested in joining you for a weekend session with Billy.

Ha! Working class? Maybe that's what the Conservatives (spelled R-E-F-O-R-M) have in mind for a neurologist. What's with the handbasket and where are we heading... Your next job (cause who needs neurologists when we got tar-oops-oil sands: we're a petro-dollar nation, North Texas) will consists of lifting cargo on top of oil workers' pick-up trucks roof racks. You might be entitled to a step ladder...

This reminds of a conference a few years ago. Heard at the bar: "Who are all those guys?" "It's the American Physical Society I think." "Oh yeah? They dont't look too physical to me..."

Since several of us will be on the Ottawa for Mini-Beast this upcoming weekend, it may be a good opportunity for another playboating clinic with Billy.   I emailed him and he said that he would be available this Saturday at 2PM for a clinic at Pushbutton.  Come learn how to spin and then practice all weekend long!

I will book this if there are at least 3 interested participants - let me know ASAP!
Cost is $34 - $10 (assuming $10 club subsidy still in effect)

I would be interested in this. Weekdays are good for me.

Please negotiate a date amongst yourselves and confirm with Billy:  b3harris@gmail.com.

I am interested but would it be asking too much for a weekend event?  Some of us still work during the week (not by choice)

Cheers,

Adam

Date is totally negotiable.  Weekday evenings are preferable, given Billy's availability.  I picked a mid week day to reduce the crowd at Pushbutton, which worked quite well - it was basically just the 6 of us there for the last session.  Weekend evenings might also be doable. 

Pick a date, let us know!  You can check when Billy is available via his email:  b3harris@gmail.com   Tell him that Mike from the CdB is trying to set up another session.

I'd be interested. Are you locked into Wednesdays though, a Thursday session would be much better for me.

I would be intrested-good for either date, but find it easier not to plan to far in advance. (Intrested in spinning,backsurf).

What a blast we had yesterday at Pushbutton with Billy Harris!   Not only is Billy an excellent teacher, he is quite entertaining also.  Also kudos to Billy's teaching partner Graham Ball.
Within 2 hours our intrepid crew was doing first time surfs, side surfs, back surfs and multiple spins on Pushbutton!   

I believe that there were a few club members that expressed interest in a playboating clinic that were not able to make it to yesterday's event, so I will schedule another one if there are at least 3 interested participants.   Cost for us was $30 all in for a 3 hour session, added to the generous $10 club subsidy.  (We decided to tip Billy handsomely since he has a recent new mouth to feed...)    :-)
 
Tentative date/time for another session would be Wed Jul 11 or 18, 5PM. 
Let me know ASAP if interested and when available.
