Extreme Surfski DownWindDash

A cracker Downwind paddle from Milnerton to Big Bay (surfski race every Wednesday in Cape Town, South Africa) I was filming Lloyd with my action cam on a 4 foot pole attached at the back of my ski. I find this gives the best perspective.

Nice video. How long is that paddle with the white blades?

Awesome!

How can you get speeds around 35km/h? My record is in 21,9...

[Richkman101]

We often reach these speeds but it is only for a second or two. Some of the bumps are 5m high so dropping down the face of that is quite fast.

wow...that is fast paddling!

thanks for posting...love the helmet cam

[Richkman101]

It's not actually a head cam. The camera is mounted on a 5ft pole on the back of the surfski. This give a much better depth perspective than the head cam.

PS We normally reach max speeds around 35km/hr and an ave or just under 16km/hr
