Outrigger: Video from Alcatraz
This just posted in the last two weeks: outrigger coverage from Norcal. Killer views, big strokes and a sweet soundtrack to highlight the Alactraz Race Around the Rock last month that SFOCC raced in.
For those of you with minimal attentions spans:
@ 3:10 look for my friend Jessica in seat 2 (light blue boat/light blue jerseys)
@ 3:40 look for me in seat 4 (yellow boat/black jerseys)
But seriously, if you have six minutes to spare and you have any interest at all, this is what outrigger paddling is; what we spend our Tuesday and Thursday nights, our Saturdays and Sundays doing; driving down to So Cal, flying off to Hawaii, talking about practices and teams and faraway races in cool places. These are our friends - old and new - the teams we compete with year after year, in the water both Jessica and I paddle out in each week. Another day on the bay in 400 lb boats. I love this sport.
