This one's for the hardcore SUP race fans only...

An on-board view of the first lap from Round 1 of yesterday's Ocean Addicts Power of the Paddle race.



(the camera angle gets fixed after a couple of minutes...)

There were two elimination rounds and then a final: The first round was 3 laps, then the second round and the final were 2 laps. So 7 laps in total (if you made the final...). Each lap was 1.5km, so it was about 10.5km all up. Definitely not easy!

This vid is kinda long, so again, it's only for the hardcore fans :-D

lol yeah you made me look good :O

Great to see some on board action!

That was cool Chris. Glad to see you get a bit of luck with that wave at the end after the guys came from behind in the first lap. Wish i could start like that
