Comments for Molokai 2008 - personal impressions at http://www.surfski.info , comment 0 to 8 out of 8 comments http://www.surfski.info Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:47:00 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/711/147/#pc_2359 I am sitting here in boring 'Saffaland' thinking over and over about being somewhere else. Molokai has been a name dominating my daydreams these past few weeks. First time I heard about it was watching my man Thomas Magnum in the 08's paddling on his old hammerhead in the best TV show of all time. Never understood what it really stood for until I took up this beautiful sport and joined the surfski.info community. Doesn't matter which country brags about having the best paddlers, who is the best off all time, wadda wadda. What matters is how a race like this captures the imagination of all us ordinary folk who spend our lives trying to keep family and home together, getting to the office on time and making sure the bills are paid, but in our heart of hearts, knowing that we belong 'out there'. Best of luck to all the paddlers competing in the greatest show on earth. To the top boys down to Rob, the Glick, and eventually the guy who brings up the rear - the very best of luck to you all and no matter how you do, remember: WE ARE SO JEALOUS OF YOU!!! regards Tom - Tom BJ Sat, 17 May 2008 19:54:47 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/711/147/#pc_2358 Gadget Man... you bastard!! I am sitting here green with envy. Eish. Have a fantastic race... don't stress... just enjoy. Look up every now and then and take in where you are. Everything of the best boet.

Have a good go on Sunday, my man! - nell Fri, 16 May 2008 23:39:26 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/711/147/#pc_2356 Joe says: "you know what the sad thing is? I'm hitting the weights three times a day already!" - Rob Mousley Fri, 16 May 2008 23:33:08 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/711/147/#pc_2355 Joe, You look like a stick next to Herman in the photo! Better hit the weights one more time before sunday. - nell Fri, 16 May 2008 21:17:51 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/711/147/#pc_2354 Nice one Rob, enjoy the trip and we are looking to cheer the Saffa boyz on at the Penisular CC. Just remind Daantjie My Bra we are expecting him in the top 20 & when you get back you can test one of my butt pads for solving that crack of yours! Stay cool & have fun Jamii - Jamii Hamlin Fri, 16 May 2008 08:55:09 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/711/147/#pc_2353 To All the Saffa's and Glicker, DSKC are all getting together tonight for sundowners and to talk up the races and our expectations. It is Hawaiian themed and we are all really jealous of you all. Have a blast, go well, and claim the Top 10 places (if you can as some of those Aussies are looking like mean machines). Wish you had better conditions, but clearly waiting for 2009 when there is going to be a big Dubai crew there!

Once in a lifetime experience no doubt. Say hi to Daws (this is his year 1 time), RePete and Alexa. cheers Dean - Dean Jordaan Fri, 16 May 2008 03:59:50 +0100
