US Surfski Champs - the Rambo Video
USSSC 2012
Despite the un-video-friendly conditions (low light/foggy), Rambo did a great job of this one. Look out for the flying ski in the surf at the start...!
The interviews with the top paddlers are fun too - with some interesting insights from some of the guys on how they tackle a race like this.
A highlight for me was the race for second place - Sean Rice did an unbelievable job of grinding his way from 5th to 2nd.
Great job Rambo!
