PSSSTTT Mr. Illuminate, you didn't remember??? You are stroking that race ...

[Illuminate]

ok, but this time I'm jumping out of the boat before you

[StrokeItHard]

No one's head will be used a buoy/flotation device this time! 

[spark10]

I heard they brought their own balers to HK last year.  Anybody know what the best type of baler is and if there are actual regulation sizes/shapes?

[mandachan]

I don't remember anyone bringing their own baler other than Catherine from FCRCC. But she always brings/makes a baler to bigger competitions. She used a water bottle and a lot of duct tape to make an ergonomic handle. Speedy comfortable bailing!

The best thing to use is an empty laundry detergent jug, cut out like a scoop. The handle for those are perfect.

Avoid using milk jugs (too flimsy and pointy) and juice containers (no actual handle). The worst baler I've seen is a 1L soymilk container with no cap.

The ones that were provided in HK were literally pots (the type you cook your mac n cheese in) but plastic.

Whoa! So many teams representing FCRCC! (Why not DZ? Lifescan...Riptide etc?)

[puppy]

Actually, many of the paddlers are full time members at fcrcc. In, addition, not many people oversea's know who DZ is.  In addition, our motto this year (like last year) is GO AS ONE, COME HOME AS ONE.
