Only 2 outriggers in the race, predominantly ocean ski but high class field of ocean paddlers.
A very close finish with Jeremy cotter just pipping Tim Jacobs on the run up too the line with Shannon Eckstein 3rd and in the womens race Hayley Bateup proved too strong for Former Molokai Champ Jasmin Kelly with 2 time Olympian Yander Nossiter 3rd.
Enjoyed myself immensely shooting this video, very challenging.

At the time as you know Karel had a very bad chest infection and almost didn't race, so he wasn't at his best and the conditions were ordinary. Out of respect for him, i decided at the time not to show the video of him suffering and well below his best. However i have a few ideas to turn it into an education or study video so people can learn from watching him from the 3 camera angles.
I will put it together soon, but it won't be a race video, that would be unfair.
On a separate note, Kai, Arron, Nap and Lauren are racing at the Aussie National Oc1 Titles here in December, so that will be a good opportunity to shoot them doing a downwind, Aussie style. (means i can't race ... bugga)
Cheers Rambo

C'mon Rambo, we can chuck a camera on all of them, I'll get some at the start, after that they will be out of shot. You have to paddle, that Booze Hound is talking is up now he has the Zepher, we have to make him eat Pegasus!
