Fantastic Location for a downwind race and boy did Mother nature turn it on. It's not often you get a good downwind within a race and the competitors lapped it up. Awesome close finish once again, nail biting stuff between Jeremy Cotter and Bruce Taylor in the last few K's
This doubles race must have hurt, a sprint finish between two World Champs and a couple of ex Olympians was painful just to video. ...wow.

The 20 Beaches Classic is the premiere surf ski race of the Aussie Ocean Racing Series. Run from Manly to Palm beach or reverse it usually attracts a huge field including many Olympic paddlers and internationals.
As you may or may not know i’ve been filming the LG - Bing Lee Surfski Series in Sydney NSW over the past couple of Months and it’s been a real buzz to be part of this exciting racing, so much to learn from these guys.
Here is the latest from Bondi to Watsons Bay.

Also checkout the surf ski's from that era, wow have we come a long way. The intro is Oc1, but 95% of the footage is vintage ski. Thanks Jacques

Thibert Lussiaa has asked me to help promote this race both here and around the world. He knows we are forming a Va'a Association in Oz and now have craft available here through Zulu http://www.zulusurf.com.au and wants paddlers to register their interest in this race. He tells me that lot's of Tahitian Top paddlers have agreed to support the event and Marsh "Tiger" Taylor has a new V1 being made especially for Ocean racing at this event that is much shorter than the sprinting V1.

From Tiger re the new Va'a
This canoe is an entirely new model. Like the old sprint model, the hull comes from va’a builder Philippe Bernardino of Tahiti. Its made for open water conditions. Smaller in volume, as the sprint model used in the IVF sprints is considered large, it has more rocker and no “V” through the center of the hull. It is looser and more maneuverable. The cockpit is high to keep water out. The canoe will have a skirt if one chooses.

This is from the DVD of the race that i shot entirely with unmanned Gopro cameras with delay timers. The footage follows the race of 3 of the top crews …. NorthCliffe Open (the eventual winner) ……… Outrigger Australia Open (2nd) ………….. and Mooloolaba Masters (1st Masters, 5th overall) who i paddled with.
Many changeovers are featured and techniques of the great steerers.
You will probably recognise some of the names like Danny Sheard, Pete Dorries, Travis Grant, Mike Mills -Thom etc. who have all competed and won either open or masters at the Molo Hoe.
A larger and better quality version will be upload later, this one up now is 20 mins long and a 60mb download. The video is highly compressed to limit download size. The original is HQ.
Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers Rambo
