Anyone got a better reason? - KiwiBird Wed, 23 May 2007 22:16:46 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_740 out of over 130 odd competitors, there were less than 12 (total) female competitors (both OC and surf ski). - nobody Wed, 23 May 2007 03:57:43 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_734 Has anyone any idea why there's such a big discrepancy between the men and women's prize money? - KiwiBird Tue, 22 May 2007 19:57:14 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_726 This from Vince Bechet, race organiser: Hi Rob the oldest guy in the race was Arthur Salaris, 73 from Australia, however he had to withdraw due to the very tough conditions. Ray Shipman from USA was oldest finisher at 55. I am unsure as to the oldest person ever, the full records are not available. Cheers Vince - Rob Mousley Tue, 22 May 2007 12:13:55 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_719 Dawid & Clint both paddle Fenn IV paddles. - RobM Tue, 22 May 2007 09:06:13 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_718 Ignore the above.

Tue, 22 May 2007 08:57:58 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_717 It looks like an Epic to me. Thats why there are no fenn sponsor stickers on it ;) - oneoftheboysfromaroundtheworldwatchingandwaiting. Tue, 22 May 2007 08:56:35 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_716 Does anyone know which kind of wing Dawid Mocke was using? It looks like a Fenn, but which one? Thanks, Javier Comelli - JC Tue, 22 May 2007 05:40:49 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_715 Anyone have any idea of the age of the oldest finisher in the history of the race? - Steve Hansen Tue, 22 May 2007 01:13:13 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_712 Simple solution is call it a "Surf kayak for the laymen. Differance is a Kayak you sit in it with a open cockpit that can fill up with water and sink. A Surfski or "Ski" you sit on top of a completly sealed boat. They have deap or shallow seats and your feet and body are exposed to the elements.Usually hollow but sometimes all solid foam construction. Like Oscar had the first year he ever did the molokai Race. People confuse the two because of the paddle two bladed. You could paddle a Surfboard with a kayak paddle and they would say you are now on a Kayak.But then again do we want to get into a "WaveSki debate". NOPE, FYI - Billy Robello Mon, 21 May 2007 23:47:18 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_711 The author refers to the ski as an ocean kayak so the layperson whome might come across this can put a visual pitchure to the sport. get over it. - sean Mon, 21 May 2007 22:39:03 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_710 Fantastic race report and AWESOME coverage of the Race. I am in Durban, South Africa and I can feel the Vibe. I have one massive problem :Why does the Author refer to a SurfSki as an ocean kayak. She seemed to get the OC1 vibe going without, Yet she SHORTS the SurfSki, and brands it ocean kayak. Thomas Magnum is gonna be bleak about this development and you know why? Because Thomas paddled a SurfSki! NOT an ocean kayak. - Billy Harker Mon, 21 May 2007 22:03:05 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_709 Looks like the race within the race was taken by the Fenn Mako 6 lads. Well done guys. - rjk Mon, 21 May 2007 18:52:16 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_706 The full results listing everyone with their placings is on the site. - RobM Mon, 21 May 2007 15:21:54 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_705 Lewis was paddling a vacuum carbon Fenn Mako 6. - RobM Mon, 21 May 2007 15:21:01 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_704 Does anyone know which boat he uses? - gary Mon, 21 May 2007 15:12:22 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/412/147/#pc_701 HI there, will all placegetters be availabe for viewing as we are here in Australia and wanting to know if all our friends finished and what times they done the race in.
