This is the first minute or so from the race on the weekend shot from my GoPro mounted on Rea's board. I particularly liked the way she refused to be pushed around by the guys. I think my race was a little bit compromised because I let some slower paddlers get the jump on me. Not so with Rea. Even though it's a distance race rather than a sprint, it seems if you don't get a good start, you never make up the time later. So there's a lesson in that for all of us.

But the only problem is only the kook organisers having a beach starts see the headache you had to deal with good SUP race organisers do ocean starts

Yes that was an interested SUP race start... but it all adds to the fun and excitement of it.

Looks like I need to work on the Tahitian paddle technique as well... at least that's one advantage of having a camera pointing towards you. I'm sure it captured my cursing after getting catapulted off the board from the jellyfish. That will teach me for laughing at the other guy (Tony) who got thrown off twice or more. Great effort to still come in 2nd too! Well done.

Yes I was going to post that jelly catapult as a special feature, especially for the heart breaking moment when you realised your iPod had drowned. But I thought that might be too mean.
