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!

Yes, of course!  We adore her so much we sometimes forget she's from Storm.  Thanks Team Storm and J!

ummm.... Okay....

Anyways, here's the other two finals. Smile

C Final

(The chase boat had to park near the party cruise boats to keep an eye out as they came out, so only about half the race could be recorded)

D Final

Amazing video!! Thanks a bunch!

As much as it pains me to see it... Riptide came in 2nd after RaceFace in the D finals with less than 0.4 difference. Angles, angles...

Last batch of videos!

Consolation Round

The chase boat in this race followed the boats from behind which didn't make for very interesting footage. At least the start of race was shot right next to the boats.

Random Barrel Race Smile

This year's barrel races were done in Taiwanese boats for the first time. Doesn't look much different though... Perhaps these boats are too heavy to get them up to the speed required to take advantage of their flat hulls.
