  One of the rare times I'm happy to be 45 and too old to be messing about in those kind of conditions. I'd like to read a first hand account from all the participants like the one Booth wrote, and, well, see good coverage of the event. Unlike almost every sup race in the world this one would be compelling to non hardcore fans.

Awesome day, I had a great time!

Here is my video:

Just to mention Clay, by accident I came across your vid re SUP surfing and how you started moving your feet....it struck a chord!

Right on! 
Thanks to everyone for the great comments.  Booth's experience is intense, thanks for sharing.
Aloha, I welcome and appreciate all responses of positivity and good feeling.

"Red Bull and the Association of Paddlesurf Professionals said that they hope that they will see female participation in Red Bull Heavy Water in 2018 and subsequent years."

Great footage....inspiring to watch!  My hat's off to anyone that can ride a raceboard in such challenging conditions !
