2003 World Freestyle Kayak Championships – Report 10, May 11

Personalities in the Worlds

Billy Harris
Country: Canada (Ontario)
River that he got good on, Ottawa

Billy is no stranger to international competition, in fact he won the prelims in the last world championships in Spain. He is super friendly, competitive, and a showboater. Watch for big tricks (I saw him practicing the McNasty on his second ride her in Austria.) Billy had a big hand in designing the two latest boats from Necky, the Chronic and the Vibe. Billy taught at the Ottawa Kayak School, www.ottawakayak.com two summers ago, before he decided to travel more extensively this past year.

Billy and his girlfriend Tiffany are two top contenders in this year’s world championships. Good luck to both of them!
