No Team Cream oc20?  They beat FCRCC and Gorging last year in Victoria.  They are going to Nationals as well.

1) FCRCC Premier...this group of paddlers been together for 2 to 3 years now and i think they are ready to take top spot.
2) Kai Ikika....can take top spot any given Sunday
3) One West (black?or red? The one with female peruvian scientist paddling)
4) The other One West Team (i think One West is splitting their team strength up evenly this year?  If both teams finish in the top 5 ...it would be impressive)
5) Dreadnaught
6) Skinny Fish
7) Vortex (i think they have a bunch of ex-Dragonheart Ultimate paddlers on their Team)
8) Anniemaniacs

Notables....Starbucks Waverunner and Team Cream

Sun......Sun......Mr Golden Sun.....please shine down on me.

Another spectacular weekend of racing on the creek.  

I was a bit off on my predictions this year but at least I got top spot correct.  (been a bit distracted by the little one and preggo wifey this year)  FCRCC premier...great job.  I spoke with one of your paddlers after the comp A race and i could tell he wanted to win...badly.   He had the 'eye of the tiger."   Congrats again on his wedding engagement!

To One West Red/Black both making it to the top 8.  You guyz always amaze me with your dedication/love for paddling.   I know many of you paddle and coach too..  ;) ... my back in seat 10 is hurting. Also, you should get Oddball Workshop to make up a giant color poster of the "Hot Dog" guy's ugly mug shot.  ;)  Use the kind of paper that doesn't fade in the sun....

Skinny Fish/Dreadnought:  Tons of potential to do great things.  I maybe way off base here but this seems like it could be a great rivalry between two teams ...like  Magic vs Larry?  Coke vs Pepsi,  Apple vs Microsoft....

Kai Ikaika: Strong racing as usual... Nice yellow shirts...a bit plain but they sure were BRIGHT!   Team Lifescan has great looking shirts...maybe they can help you out with the design.

Team Cream:  Why Cream?  I was betting on you to win the GnG.  What's 2km to a bunch of OC paddlers?  A walk in the park.

G2G Racing:  As usual...but it must be said ...awesome officating and ensuring the racing went smoothly and safely.  I saw Mr. Lamb smile and heard him crack a few jokes during the GnG briefing.  He must have been happy.

Until next year.....I'm going to get a back massage now and maybe have a happy ending too..just kidding.  

Have a great summer everyone!

Two is many times harder than one, I hope we'll still see you on the water.

Team Cream:  Why Cream?

Name might just have something to do with their sponsor  :wink:

I was betting on you (Team Cream) to win the GnG.  What's 2km to a bunch of OC paddlers?  A walk in the park.

It was a walk in the park to a bunch of OC paddlers .... Kai!  The extra turns definitely favour seat 1-2 left having OC experience, although it is very much a steerspersons race.

G2G Racing:  As usual...but it must be said ...awesome officating and ensuring the racing went smoothly and safely.  I saw Mr. Lamb smile and heard him crack a few jokes during the GnG briefing.  He must have been happy.

GnG one went off pretty much on time, that in itself should have made him smile. 

Until next year.....I'm going to get a back massage now and maybe have a happy ending too..just kidding. 

Have a great summer everyone!

Looking forward to the announcement of your little paddler!
