G'day Breezes Todays Pai'lolo Channel Crossing was ALL TIME with conditions rated a 10 out of 10 by the locals. Congratulations going to Aussie contender Dave Kissa in a time of 3 hours 7 minutes for 43 kilometres or 27 Miles. Depending which way you want to look at it ( weapon ) I did a time of 3 hours 35 minutes ( with no training ) shaving of 26 minutes from my previous time of 4 hours 1 minute I was just competing against myself and stoked. Terrene did a time of 3 hours 45 minutes the women is a weapon and the best female to ever come out of Australia in Downwind SUP paddling WELL DONE.
Conditions:
The first 10 kilometres was like the Molokai Kai'wi Channel Crossing the next 10 kilometres was fun, but the next 20 kilometres was ALL TIME just loving life with swell troths in the 4 - 6ft rang and Running/Gliding for ever. I was standing sooo far back on the Bullet I had to drag the paddle behind the SUP just to keep me up right ( Yes Please Mr Wizard ) I had sooo many paddle battles with competitors we'd catch the same runner and have a conversation while surfing the troth f##ken GOLD and Too Funny.
I could write a full essay but I'm off to Yogurt Land
