There's an Aussie, who goes by the name Rambo, he makes fantastic video's of paddling events. He's a single outrigger paddler who understands what's going on in the water, so he knows what to look for when shooting video. His latest video is of the US surf ski championships, 2 weeks ago in San Francisco. There a a few minutes of interviews at the start of the video followed by about 10 minutes of video of riding some real nice runners. Part way through is a segment where a coast guard RIB, with machine gunner in the bow, "chases" Dawid Mocke for a short bit to make sure he stays away from the ship being escorted (it looks to be an LNG tanker). http://surfski.info/races/item/1175-us-surfski-champs-%E2%80%93-dawid%E2%80%99s-race-and-rambo%E2%80%99s-video.html or http://rambos-locker.blogspot.com/ For those in california, the race starts at fort baker in Sausalito, goes under the golden gate, around a buoy off point Bonito and then back into the bay to finish in Berkeley. -- Kirk Olsen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
