This was the second of three official races at Molokabra. I again missed the start! I took an outside line so I didn't see many other paddlers. On the upside that makes for a shorter video. Today I was chasing Nick and could see him the whole way, but he kept pulling farther and farther ahead. Highlights in this video include Race Champion Mark Keeling checking on me as I am in the water turning on my camera, a good look at one of Guto Campos' handsome new GURF surfskis, losing a flip flop on the high seas, and me losing a sprint to the line after a 30 minute battle against Brazilian Jose Filho.

Gust to 30 and lulls to low teens made for some steep stacked funky waves going multiple directions with big surface riffles on the first two laps. Lots of brute force surfing that beat me up a bit and leaning back to try and keep the rudder in the water on the steep chop. On the third lap there was a lull and the waves smooth out a bit. Always good balance practice to paddle upwind and beamy in the big chop. Five kiters and one whale west of the island and five wingers in the river.

This was the first official race day. I again was far behind the start line when the green flag was raised. In a way that was a lucky accident because it meant I got to paddle past lots of paddlers as I worked my way up through the pack. The line I took on this day was a straight line to the finish that stayed fairly close to shore. The benefit of that line was that it was popular with the local paddlers and I was around other racers the entire way. The downside was that the surfing was not nearly as good as it was farther out to sea.

Tough paddle from Long Reef to White Rock. Windy and choppy. A few waves, nothing spectacular.

Matt features a couple of times. Filmed on the Fenn LS.

The Steamboat Flats wind sensor said 10 to 13 mph average wind speed, but it seemed a bit more at the river delta. Now that the osprey have started their migrated to Central America a bald eagle was fishing and eating near their nest.
