Despite the un-video-friendly conditions (low light/foggy), Rambo did a great job of this one. Look out for the flying ski in the surf at the start...!
26 July was show-down day. I knew all along Jasper was the main man to mark. I’ve trained and raced against him more than enough times to know he is a fantastic paddler and I should come more than prepared and be ready to hurt when lining up next to him at any race.
Two more races down - the Norweigen ASKR race and the US Surfski Champs... Jasper Mocke beat Sean Rice to take the ASKR event, while Dawid Mocke dominated in San Francisco.
As they raced under the Golden Gate Bridge, Dawid Mocke and Simon van Gysen were neck and neck, charging towards the Fenn Hotspot and its $1,000 reward. The last time they’d raced, in Spain, van Gysen had pulled away and won.
San Francisco: 96 athletes from 11 countries will line up later today to race the new US Surfski Championships course, among them a fair selection of the best surfski paddlers in the world today.
