Saturday: San Francisco, USA
Lewis Laughlin paddled a magnificent race to take the 2007 US Surfski Champs against a star-studded field. For much of the race he pulled a group of paddlers until Oscar Chalupsky made his move to the front of the field.
Lewis diced with Oscar up to the turning buoy and for much of the way back - until coming into SF Bay Oscar chose a different line further out in the bay and Lewis moved steadily ahead to win by nearly two minutes.
Conditions were flatter than forecast and the paddlers had very little help from wind or waves.
