    I'm 60 now and I have used and enjoyed asurf ski almost identical to your one in 1974.
    Obviously your craft has evolved beautifully with thin stern and tuna fin rudder. Respect..!!
    In cape town where I used to cross 10 ft breakers during the time I was a life saver
    The purest form of paddling.
    So so heart-warming to see it continuing

      Oh, great story! Just listened to Oscar Chalupsky's biography as an audiobook, "No Retreat, No Surrender!". He talks extensively about nippers (young surf lifesavers), the original triathlon competitions, the fantastic conditions you have in South Africa with wind and waves. Will start surfski paddling this year at the age of 53. And plan to the Millers Run in a couple of years, probably attending Dawid Mocke's paddle clinic. Wish I'd live in place as perfect for surfskis as Cape Town, live in Copenhagen. No real surf and big waves here, but lots of water.

    After watching this video I picked up a beginner ski to work on. Someday I will have the capability to move up to a Vega. Looking forward to that day.

    Great job with this video. I am stoked on my Vega!! It surfs so good and I am pleasantly surprised how fast it is in the flats.

    Great study of paddling form and ski design/performance!
    The shots from the rear most telling of continued steering, adjusting line,. Great vid

    Wow, I just watched this video again for the seventh time! I would love to paddle in Hawaii. I have had my Vega for 11 months and every paddle it just gets better (maybe because I/m slowly improving, LOL). The Vega is great in the ocean bumps and in the flats. If you are in the market for a new boat you need to try the Vega. #kaiwaastrong

    What I find remarkable is that (unless it was redacted) there is not a single incident of nose-diving to be seen.

      2:28 in, but you are right it's not pearling at all.

    • @subliminallyinc
      @subliminallyinc 3 роки тому +1

      I think it has to do with the lighter construction. Their monologue design allows it's nose to stay light up front and prevent it from staying down in the front of the bump for too long.

    • @ThePaddleChannel
      @ThePaddleChannel 3 роки тому +2

      My Ares rarely buries the nose. I have a friend who has the Vega and he says it is rare for him to stuff the nose. I think Kai's design has a lot to do with it.

    • @herbertmasing
      @herbertmasing 4 роки тому

      You are right - it did look like that, when looking closely. Nicely noted:) Another question is if it was actually broaching or just some trick they intended for a better footage ended up looking like this:)

      Only sarcasm, sharks aren’t a joke.
      I love the water & wanted to try learning to sail a Hobbie Cat recreational boat but only this is learning out in deep saltwater areas off the beach. Not the actual sailing part, just if & when capsizing and being in water is my fear I got to just get over it somehow. Person that sold me used Hobbie Cat said he’s been sailing those waters over past 40 years.
      In my mind I’m like it only takes one encounter to ruin a perfect sailing day. Lol
