Molokai - Firsts

This is the first in the Fin Film Company films on Molokai.  From last year's race.

It sucks to hype yourself, but... well... this is a blog after all and I dig this screen grab:

At the start, racing Patrick Dolan who was teamed with Eric Abbott.
Unfortunately, their boat broke down and they had to pull out.
Patrick & I were flying at the start, though.

So, without further ado, the first of the FFC films...

Jackson

This man is impressive.  He is an Australian ex-pat living in a country (Singapore) with no other major paddlers.  He does this alone.  He trains in the flats, without any real bump to speak of.

And he consistently is a top 3 finisher at Molokai.

Jackson English is f-ing impressive.




Go Jackson.

Molokai is coming

Last year was incredible.  Did a relay with Dan Van Dyke and managed to pull a 1st in our class (old dudes).  We had a lot of fun, and it was a great weekend with friends, warm water & the sun.


The following is a new video from Chris Aguilar showing some highlights from everyone's race last year.  Inspiring.

 

Earth Day music.

Dramarama has a song about Earth Day called "What Are We Gonna Do."  If you want to hear it, look it up.

I prefer this Dramarama song (please ignore the cheesy open shirt stuff):
