Radical OC6

Look at how intense was the battle between Shell and EDT during the first leg of Hawaiki Nui 2008. This pic was taken at Te Ava Piti pass in Raiatea, after 40 km of channel crossing ! You can see how bad each team wants to win...

Hey Hiro
The blue canoe is the same one in the video. Both were designed and built by Ah Tak?

Talk about riding the edge of the reef, you couldn't cut it any tighter than those guys are doing.

It's actually the canoe you saw on that vid !

Nice shot!! Thanks for the picture Hiro. Looks like the Shell Vaa boat came close to going over. Look at the ama...its ready to get pitched. Good save by the Shell crew.

Oh yeah...one more thing. EDT stroker...is he the one that used to stroke Shell?? Heard rumors that he jumped ship.

Heiarii Mama, he's been training with EDT for months.
Rules here are that the president of your club can allow you, or not, to paddle for another club. That means that Shell president could have said NO even the day before the race, and then EDT would have lost their stroker...
