NZ M8+ October 2020 . Nice little headwind all the way home.

Everyone working on some simple individual tasks. For those who have not been on Karapiro, this is about 7 km from home heading back towards the shed. We have approx. a round trip of 45km on the lake. (Take a packed lunch!)

Thank you so much for uploading all these videos - the high school kids I coach love to study the footage. We've made big improvements studying the body swing and bladework of these guys. Absolutley first class.

Y esa pausa en la sacada del remo Mister O Conor?

No hay pausa. Las manos se mueven con cuidado, pero no se detienen. ¡Eso no es remar!

Why does the 3 seat have a different rigger?

Well spotted. The old one got broken on a windy day when the rower caught a crab and fell out of the boat!
