Some highlights from the 2020 virtual racing season.

True North Strong
Some recognition for those that completed every regular-season event this year. This recognition is well earned, as these guys and girls paddled all season, in various conditions, covering everything from an all-out sprint to a 25 km-plus endurance challenge. Much respect to all of you…
Paddle Battle at Dawn
Paddle Battle in the books!
There was a tiny bump on an otherwise glassy morning. My rivalry with Thomas Markhauser continues, and I can imagine catching a wave into shore to time him again, right to last second!
This series is certainly motivating…

Not a Downwind, Downwinder!
Greg, Jp and I saw some 11 mph winds the day before on Windy, planned everything then realized upon waking Sunday morning the wind was down to 7 mph with no gusts. We paddled in the middle of a 80 degree F day with more boat chop then ever. It was non stop chop for 7 miles with no wind or waves to ride. So, it really just ended up being a slow, very challenging 7 miles.
Although not pretty, it will work for some bottom feeder downwind race points!
…And I got to steal my wife’s new Infinity 2020 14×23 Blackfish dugout for a nice maiden voyage!
Cdn Pdl League
Lake of Bays Downwind Cup
Paddled 10.33km into a 15km/hr west headwind turned around and got in the minimum for a downwind attempt of 10km. Just enough wind to chase lil bumps all the way home. Still waiting for the right conditions to get 20km downwind run on Lake of Bays.
Sprint Addiction :)
August 1000m @ 6:03. Silky turn, but missed some strokes going out. My sub-6:00 times from the spring now seem a few seconds out of reach?? I was not a sprint paddler in my youth like some of you guys, but I see how it can get addictive!
Thanks to Infinity SUP Canada for the fast board 🙂
