Less paddling and more gliding downwinder.
« on: April 21, 2018, 12:18:24 AM »
Here's some more vid from last w/e.. I hope that new people to doing DW'ers notice that downwinding is not a non-stop paddling sport.

Read the water ahead.. Only paddle when you have to.. and learn about board trim.. Especially on these hybrid type flat water race boards.

Relax and save your energy.. and have fun..  8)

Notice my no-paddle take off at 1.20..  ;D
