the G&G this year didn't have the music blasting at the start line.  i remember in 2006 they pumped up the crowd and the paddlers by turning up the dance music full blast.  that was awesome.  none the less, i love the G&G... always a great finish to a wonderful festival.

Changing the date to a different weekend makes it very unlikely the out of town teams will be able to participate.

Quote from: VAT18
DCH did better than most thought they would. I saw the A final and it didn't look like the high-kneel helped them, it actually slowed their boat down quite a bit. I would guess they lost 2-3 secs.  They are going to Asia either this year or the following year.

This was the first time they practiced the high-kneel in a competition.  I believe they are preparing for an HK race coming up.

Cheers yeah yeah... don't remind me.  while everyone was getting sloshed in the beer garden i was still on the water paddling.  they even sold out of vera burgers by the time i got there.

which also reminds me... why did they take down the awards presentation stage before all the medals and awards were handed out?  not that it was a big deal but it would have been nice to do an award ceremony for the top comp teams too.

That's nothing like real sumo wrestling.  However, we do appreciate the lack of oversized diapers.

I'm putting off learning C1 until after September, so the K1 will have to do.  Wink
