- All-time best conditions. Incredible skates with a howling 30 - 40knot SSW and a 2m + swell. Everyone on the water had an amazing time and all recorded their fastest ever runs........................yewww!!

That looks special just make you want to get after it
You guys are amazing. I know most of you have been doing this a long time but those elite skis in big following seas are a handful. The ease with which you paddle is remarkable.
Thanks John. I really appreciate your comments mate. 7 years later and I still haven't seen conditions like this again. My PB has gone up a bit since then, but I'd love to see how fast I could go in these same conditions............I'll keep dreaming of the day 🤞😁
Big Daz, I came accros this, pretty epic conditions, I need to come visit West Oz!
Best conditions I've ever paddled in!! The WA Race Week is going to be huge this year Gaz. If you can't make it in Nov, Dec to March is always good and happy to rip into some runs with you anytime.
Surf ski's wow. Hooting downwind. I did it on a sea kayak, but a Surf ski faster and lighter. Wing paddle great for power, and balancing. Awesome video. Some fast paddlers there.
Such a great finish onto the beach! Pefect end!
It was!! In all the years since this paddle, still haven't had conditions that match it.............an absolute one off!!
This is great. I was recently riding in some small tidal swells near Fishers Island. Small swells were a rush. I can only imagine what those must have felt like. Good paddling and video. Be well.
Thanks Kurt. Fishers Island New York?? That's certainly a long way from Perth. Yep, it's pretty awesome when you get into the more extreme conditions, so much fun to be had!!!
Your speed and balance are insane!
Thanks Edrisse. We have great downwind conditions in Perth, so it's alot of fun and easy to improve our skills. Going faster now ;)
another inspiring clip..well done !
Goodonya Anthony.......I'm flying out to The Gorge Downwind Champs tomorrow night......new videos will be posted soon!!
Great clip, thanks for sharing
Nice!! Can't believe how fast you were going!!
Yep, it was our fastest ever...........looking forward to the next one of these...........rare!!
Awesome vid Daz. Wish I had been there.
Mate that is some of the fastest downwind ive seen...
Top video there Daz! The runners at the 3 minute are very quick, you were hammering along. Good on ya!
Thanks Brad. Just checked my Garmin splits and yep, at that point in the paddle I hit a couple of k's at an average of 17.5 km/h.
Yep, it was a ripper Gav. Our fastest local downwinder, Brendan Rice did the same paddle in a tick over 1hr.........pretty awesome!!
Amazing Video, How did you manage to keep the water drops off the Camera..
Thanks Derek. I use 'Rainex' which repels the water and causes it to bead and roll off the lens.
Awesome! Did you add that wave splitter?
Still the best conditions I've ever paddled in Nick!!
Certainly was Mark. We've had bigger conditions, but Sunday was FAST! Gopro head strap over my paddling cap.
wow great conditions Khngy some big runners there ! is that a head mount mate with the go pro?
This must be insane once you get a hold of it.
It is Henrik. The conditions in this video were the best I've been out in. Great sport!!
Ver nice
Nice vid, I'd have had more swims than the other dude at the end talked about. Definitely at your 'oops' moment.
Ha, yeah that was definately a moment, but a totally sublime paddle. Still the best downwind conditions I've paddled in. Would love to have another crack at those same conditions now!!
amazing weather!!! i am paddling on seakayak, going to a surfski this summer. What gps would you recommend for tracking my distance and speed? thx!
I use an old Garmin Forerunner 310 XT. I think any of the new Garmin range are great for paddling Dmitry.
where'd you get that mad wave deflector from Khngy.im getting my first fenn on the weekend.carbon spark.looks like i might set up something like that.and maybe a bungy area behind seat.i like your slow mo footage-ice got a sony.do you have a mount on ski or just head and paddle.your footage is great-do you have a stack hat or head straps for video.hope to be doing doctor this year so will see you down there.bev.
Thanks Bev. The wave deflector was made by Walter Chalupsky who is one of my paddling mates. Definately the way to go, keeps alot of water out of the cockpit and creates some great slo-mo footage ;) I've got a suction cup mount, but don't have many tethering options on my Elite S so now mainly just go with the head strap over my paddling cap and occasionally rig up the paddle selfie cam. Glad you enjoy the footage. Say g'day if you get down for The Doctor - it should be massive this year!!
Sometime it feels like you are about to get a huge run and get too fast then you move out? Mind sharing the reason? Like at 4:03.
Hi Edrisse. There are a few reasons for this, the first being that to keep moving parallel up the coast I have to roll right into a run then cut left off the run and hunt the next one. If you stay on a big run too long you head into shore, the run loses energy and you end up losing momentum in your paddle from the start to finish points. The second is that the highest peaks of the chop (where the most energy is) constantly shift position, especially when the wind chop interacts with the swell and if you don't see where to go early enough and react immediately, you miss the run. The third is that I have improved my downwind skills alot since I made this video, therefore at the time simply wasn't using what was offer to its fullest potential. I would love to have these conditions on my next paddle......my best average speed for a paddle is now 16.8km/h........in these conditions I'm confident I would smash that average :)
@@daz-downwindpaddleactionz1551Very interesting Daz. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Ian. I know you do mate. Wasn't quite the same without ya ;)
this is awesome , what the model of your ski?
Thanks. Fenn Elite S, carbon vacuum layup.
Have a look at Jasper Mocke record miller run ave speed 19
Yeah, I've seen that video a few times Glywnnis........amazing paddling from one of the best ever!! Jasper.........tough competitor and a really great bloke.
