Let's look at the cold hard Facts about cold water immersion. I think everyone needs to be aware of this information regardless of where they paddle.
Crossing For Cancer 2009 - Across Bass Strait in an Outrigger Canoe from Ocean Sports Media on Vimeo.
2009 crossing of Bass Strait (Australia to Tasmania - 375km) in an Outrigger canoe, raising approx $30k for Cancer Research and honoring two worthy men, Chris Robinson the original Skipper of the famous Greenpeace "Rainbow Warrior" (which the French Secret Service blew up in New Zealand in 1985). Chris passed away before we left, he was to be our Support boat Skipper. The other is Peter Corbishley, who makes the Outrigger Connection Mirage canoe here in Australia. Pete has cancer and paddled the entire Crossing.
If you like inspirational stories, adventure action with fun and beautiful remote islands, follow us as we relive the Crossing and raise awareness for Cancer Research.
Watch out for the big “hit” on the red canoe in slow-mo on the Deal Island to Killiecrankie leg.
UPDATE : 2014 Pete Corbishley amazingly has beaten his cancer and lives life to fullest.
It's the Women's turn for the 37km Round Raro Pacific Cup and what a close battle it is all the way. Don't the Girls just love their racing.
Hope you enjoy it, you're welcome to leave a comment if you do.
As always - Start the video then pause it, make a cuppa and let it fully load. Then you can play it as many times as you like for only one download as long as you don’t close the window.

Another Episode in the Vaka Eiva 2008 series of videos. This was so much fun to shoot and edit, hope you enjoy it.
Held at picturesque Muri Lagoon, the sprint events are always keenly contested but most importantly, a huge amount of fun!! The World Famous “pop the ama” competition is a blast as are the "Boat Races".
The paddlers love this day and it sets the mood for the "Muri Mingler" party that nite on the beach.

A re -up of j.outpaddlin's Molokai Surfski Solo from the year 2000. See if you can recognize the paddlers, i see Marty and Grant Kenny, Rod Taylor, Tim Jacobs and many others. 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
