Trav talks about the canoe and race in an interview at the end of the video.

The reason the runs were so clean and fast, mid race was the coming of a fresh wind, so the ocean had had no time to be influenced by rebounds and reflections, by late that afternoon the ocean was a washing machine. The runs were reminiscent of Maliko on a fresh trade wind minus the swell, very fast and linkable., we don't see that often at the Goldy.

Great vid, thanks Rambo. That last section looked awesome.
I'd better get back to work now.
