San Francisco bay is a unique venue for a surfski race – the wind blows every afternoon funneling through the Golden Gate, and the currents play a huge role in the conditions.

A big thank you to Vineet Buch for making the video possible, someone had to get me there.

Held just last weekend. If you enjoy the Hamilton Cup then this is the event for you, great location and awesome local hospitality. Put this one on your “must do” list for next year.

On a personal note, i would like to thank Race Organizer Lance Richards and Committee for allowing me the opportunity to help promote this Race, a true "Jewel in the Crown" of Outrigger paddling in New Zealand, and a must attend event for any International paddler wanting to experience the local culture and hospitality of the locals. Thank you also to my host and new friends, Steve Muir and partner Wendy, you made my stay most enjoyable.

Sunshine Coast Paddlers have not had an all craft downwind Ocean race since the Point To Point race in the late '90s. Put together by Kirk Jarrott and Shane Dalziel in just under 4 weeks, it drew paddlers from as far a way as NSW. When the paddling community come together like this it's awesome, what a fun race.

One of the best Ski Races in the World, a Short Course Molokai if you like. Mainland to Rottnest Island across shallow waters powered by The Doctor.

Greg Long powers to finish first in the 2009 Aussie National OC1 Titles at Coff's Harbour. Included are interviews with visiting Hawaiians, Kai and Lauren Bartlett, Aaron Napoleon, Manny Kulukulualani, Pat and Ryan Dolan.

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.

This was a huge amount of work hope you like them, if you do go to the event in 2010, it’s the best paddling holiday on the Planet

DVD's available from the sidebar on the left.

Molokai ski veteran Kirsty Holmes on racing in the Fenn Cup Downwind Ski Series starting 26th Sept.

Kirsty, a two-time Australian Ironwoman and 2003 Molokai champion is a regular on the World Surf Ski Race scene. Kirsty is off to the Carribbean SurfSki Tour this month so will miss the 1st race of the Fenn Cup.

I spoke to Clint Robinson last weekend and this is what he had to say about the future of Ocean Racing, it appears things are moving in this direction already with the Fenn Cup Downwind Series and the Bing Lee/LG Ocean Series kicking off in a few weeks time as well as numerous races running around the world this coming year. He had some other interesting things to say about the Molokai race and views on other things as well, but this clip is primarily to do with the Future of Ocean Racing.

Clint's time is committed to junior SLSA six days a week for now, but said he's still keen on getting back on the water competitively soon.
