Looking to get a V-1. Wanted to hear some opinions or recommendation on where to buy from. If there are links to websites of the companies that make them it would be great!

Thanks

That’s the way all, keep sending through those entry forms. This guarantees a smooth race day sign-in an event tee shirt..

Important info:
Registrations, you have till the 12th Jan 09 to get your entries and payment to us. One of the best way to do this is go to the http://www.outriggerclothing.com.au web page, go to the top right corner and click on my account add all your details name address .e.g. Then click on Outlaw racing link, read and print the information out, then go down to the payment link and pay on-line with your card, through PayPal. Then fill the information you have printed out and fax it to me.. (03 5229 2 550).

If payment on-line is not an option or proving difficult, send all details & payment to:
Outrigger Clothing
P.O.Box 8143 Newtown Geelong,
Vic, Aust. 3220.

This is important to be in by the 12th Jan 09 because the information you are faxing me has medical question, event category, Tee shirt sizes (time needed for manufacture so you receive the correct size) and indemnity.
This paperwork received now will make for a smooth sign-in on race day and all competitors have correct bib colors/numbers and event tee shirt size .e.g.

Hi All,

Curious to know, for surfing where do you want the winds coming from? and what would be the reasoning behind that?

Any other tips would be appreciated.

One paddler's rigging guide for the Zephyr:

Paul Gay - Molokai Solo late 70ies on a Tahitian canoe:

Hope this works. I remember a New Year's tradition (I think it mostly applies to Chinese New Year, but I'm willing to try it anyway) that says whatever you do on New Year's Day, you're bound to repeat throughout the year. It's an old school camera, so it didn't go on the water with me (I'm working on getting a GoPro, Rambo!). I had to do all the camera work myself as my wife refused to leave the house, especially to go paddling!

EXPLICIT LYRICS WARNING! The video contains a song, by The Young Canadians, that contains the f-word. I had to use the song as nothing else conveyed the mood. I mean no disrespect.

Enjoy, I hope
