Got the vid working..

DJ

Thanks Dean.. That view from behind really shows what the release is like off the tail of the boards.

I would have loved to caught up to you but you were just too quick.. and fit.. for me to catch you..

DJ

Thanks Mel.

You and Jason should come down for the next one and race alongside Sue, Rea, Luicy, Kristi and the many other women paddlers down this way.

Maybe get a day at the Tennis while you're here..

Get Hobie to line up some flat water boards for you..

Excellent video DJ....no wonder I felt like you were stalking me in the race !! LOL.

You could team up with Rambo and go into production !!

Bet you've got all kids of different colours under the the nose of your board now.

Really shows how to manouvre through and around people in a race situation. Well done.

As someone else said,looked like you had a motor on board.
Gee the start looked like the Sydney to Hobart [}:)]

DJ all that bike riding/bum sniffing

came in handing for pulling off that vid

totally loved how you travelled along sniffin one then sneaking a quick sniff off the next then so on

haha

.. I'm sure that if all I wanted to do was pass people I would have done it very different.

All those that I came up behind real close were friends that I knew well.. I wonder if any of those noticed me so close behind?.. I don't think so.

It's great for people to see themselves and how they paddle.. how they wiggle their bums and bend their elbows etc..

Rea.. Bummer I missed your top coming off.. I was temped to follow you for a bit longer because it was a great view..

It was interesting to see Sue's paddling technique and how well she went around the turning buoy.

I veered off and slowed to catch a view of the leaders going around and past me the other way at the second buoy but they were too far away to see well on film.

I'm looking forward to the next RPS race on this Sunday at Rickets Point and then the SHQ race early Feb.. I might even do the same with my camera in them..
