A mate Col is heavily into Outrigger Canoes (4 & 6 man), and grabbed a GoPro yesterday .. then went surfing ...
Col eats, sleeps, and breathes outrigger paddling and has one of the best down wind runs in his front yard. I've been in an oc6 on this wave with Col steering and its a real blast!!
I just showed my missus and daughter and they were stoked like me.
Great footage and very lucky to experience. Windsurfed with a huge pod of dolphins off Long Reef years ago but didnt get that close, unreal!!!
Paddling OC is great. The Roar crew have started to mix up their training for SUP in the 6 man and done well in Australia's longest changeover race.
If you enjoy SUP paddling you'd also enjoy OC, look up your local club on AOCRA and try it out. Riding waves like this pretty much happens on the way back in from every ocean paddle. Downwind paddling and riding the ocean bumps is great in the Canoe as well!
That looks like brilliant fun. I'm all for mixing it up, and would love to give OC4 a go. Recently tried a racing ski and a K1 too. Ski wasn't too difficult but the K1 you can have all to yourselves.
