What with all the speculations of teams picking up paddlers or not picking up paddlers, this weekend is bound to be fun (save for the dreary weather).

Good luck to all teams! See you all out in Kelowna!

I was just kidding about the Topmade Bouys, there is no ringer team. I just wanted have a little fun and put a little scare into Magnum. 

If Magnum doesn't run away with Gold at this event it would be their own undoing.  I am challenging them to have a better start and really pull away from the field and dominate from the gun and though the whole race. I want to see open water in every race.  Make the other teams race for second Magnum, because they know you are going to win.  I think it is time to step up one more notch, show everyone the world class team you are, in Kelowna and San Fran.  The best of the world will be challenging you next year.

I am so glad your team stayed together and decided to take on the challenge of getting better and working to dominate every race and representing Canada as a west coast team.  I am proud honored to have race with you in Open, and think your work ethic is second to none.  You deserve every Gold metal you get. Great Job!

I wish everyone great racing in Kelowna. Sorry for rambling about Magnum.  It is just nice to see their progression. 

Cheers!

Rob, I'll speak only for myself, but challenge accepted. Smile Thanks for the support and seeing FCRCC guys on Topmade Buoy definitely would have made me happier and more eager to race hard! (As if I don't have enough reasons to race hard.)

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for the team to reach the heights of it's capabilities or achieve winning results without becoming very good at it. You must practice TEAMWORK as a team, not as individuals!

Quite the weekend it had been! I'd like to applaud Ultimate, Navie, EDBRC, and Blu By U for the hard final race! The event went really well and smoothly from my perspective and hadn't heard any major issues, but that could be just me too busy tuning things out for the races. Razz I'd like to shout out to the Dragon Hearts for having an awesome weekend, fielding five strong teams and even topped out the entire competition field with a 1-2 punch. The usual rain was here, but it's gladly a fair bit less stormy than of the past and there was even some sunshine at the end. Very Happy

Gotta admit, the drive back wasn't the the most pleasant drive this year. Seeing cars on their roofs within five minutes of each other was quite unsettling... I hope everyone's okay and had a safe drive!

So glad the thunderstorms didnt happen! trip home was nightmare-ish, saw 4 flipped cars out of 5-6 cars damaged. and more than 5 cars with flat tires because of huge potholes in the tunnel going back..
