Speaking of lucky - how's Warwick's form attracting such an amazing field of "talent" today. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that was the most stunning group of paddlers ever to grace a SUP race. If I'd remembered to bring a camera, I reckon there'd be quite a few additions to that thread that currently runs 20 pages.
