As promised: proof that I’m a little nuts.
I thought that by pulling off a few stunts and even flipping the other day in the single I might just make it easier to row the boat. I’ve been out in the single only once since that practice, and in that session the wind was huge -- moving me 1.5 metres/second sitting there. Needless to say there was not noticeable benefit when I was trying to ’survive’.
The next time I’m in the single on a ‘normal’ to even ‘moderately bad’ day, I’m curious to see how much further I can push myself. It’s length that I need more than anything, and it’s length that I’m going to get. The stunts I pull in this video may not seem like a big deal to all of you, but believe me, they were really pushing my boundaries. Length comes at the catch and finish and those are the spots I work on in the video.
I’d tell you to enjoy the clip, but I already know you will.

You flipped more in one day than I have in my entire career–nice work! I hope the water is warmer in Sacramento than it is here…
Very cold water here – WTF? I’m from Canada and have huge expectations on California, but it’s warmer in Victoria right now. So ironic. Besides, are you really going to compare apples to oranges here?
i remember the first time you flipped (or close to the first). funny. i can re-tell you the story sometime if you like. there was a life lesson in there that i taught you that you may not have listened to though! ha ha!
