Winter Surfski in Strong Winds and Gusts

This is Dennis paddling. I'm in the red boat seen briefly at the beginning. Dennis was good enough to show up for the shuttle so I took his footage and made the video.

[@boyanzlatarev]

We all need a bit of craziness in our lives! Well done again!

[@tomiday66]

I'm just impressed that you stayed in the ski.

Tom, the paddler in the video is Dennis Mowry and yes, his staying in his Flex is impressive. Denise managed to stay in her surfski also.

Tad bit of breeze there!

[@tvepaddler]

niiiice conditions! probably too cold for me 😆 "technical": you're enjoying the challenge; "messy": you're not! 😂 sounds like it was technical... 😄

[@Alastair510]

Definitely a little bit of crazy in there. Looked like a really wild day. You made good use of shooting on the diagonal, something I'm still working on.

[@ttrayn1000]

Looks like a great day! Yes, and messy. 😹

What's the ski with the outrigger?

[@denise-ski907]

Not sure I understand the question. Dennis is in a Vega Flex in this video.

@@denise-ski907 At 0:25, there's a ski in the background with an outrigger. It might be an aftermarket add-on.

[@denise-ski907]

@@mark3249 Ah. That's a Puakea Outrigger canoe.

You always need a little crazy to keep you sane. Well sane-ish.
