June 9th through the 17th Stand Up Showdown & the Pistol River Wave Bash

I am working on getting the a race up the Rogue sanctioned by World Paddle Association. Projected start time will be June 10th at 11:00 am. You can check out the 2012 Showdown link for some of the details. Expect to add $3,000 in prize money with a $50.00 entry fee $1,000 to the Trials. . Will start working on sponsors and the other details when I get back from Sunset on the 15th. I hope to round up some interest in in the SUP surf contest and the race. Any questions email me at ted@goldbeachweather.com . Kai's dad Martin emailed me and said they are up for the contest. So far Kai, Zane and Bernd Roediger confirmed. Hoping to talk with Chuck Patterson and the other mainland boys.

I have a bunch more heats up on the Stand Up World Tour 2012 Sunset Pro Heats on Demand page so check it out.

Semi Finals and Finals Waves

I came back to process the video when it was over. I wanted to get it posted and it is a bit of a hassle. Was a great final. I broke down waves of Bonga and Kai.Here they are with the semi finals, Quarters next.

Not sure if I got all the waves of Bonga but pretty sure I got all of Kai's. Would be great to see the scores. Congrates to the Champion Bonga Perkins. Check of the drop off the lip in slow motion!!!!

Epic Finals Main 2012 Stand Up World Tour Sunset Pro

I over heard Kai telling a friend he was stoked to make the finals. It was a little uneasy for a while. His dad told him to take it up a notch in the finals. He killed it. Not only did he kill it , he jumped on sunset and pulled the throbbing heart out of the monster and ate it. Huge Sunset. Some of the sets were like Waimea Bay. Here is a quick video. It is a one pass encoding so I left the frame rate and bit rate up high. I will redo it and shorten it. 9 minutes long. I want all you guys to have any idea of what it was like. Sorry I am not a glitzy video editor. I Think the video gets it done. Martin Lenny said they expect to stay at the Inn of the Beachcomber during the contest. Talked with a ton of the world tour guys and Robby Naish. I think the June contest is going to be huge.

Do me a favor post the link on social. If anyone can have SeaBreeze contact me I would love to find out why they will not respond to my emails.

Wipeouts and Spills 2012 Stand Up World Tour Sunset Pro Trials

The good news no one had any problems, well not all that true. Lots of paddles coming to shore and boards. The caddies earned their keep and the impact vest must have been helpful. Enjoy. Aloha Ted

Stand Up Paddle World Tour 2012 Sunset Pro Heats On Demand

My son graduated from Sisters High School in 2008 and was all state as a offensive tackle. They Had a running back Name Cory McCaffrey that rushed for 8460 yards in three years. It was easy to see when they were in 8th grade they were a special ground. They went to the state finals 2 years in a row. The HD broadcast equipment was purchased to film the boys. It rains in Oregon and so I have shot plenty of games in the rain. The nice thing about shooting here i Hawaii is it's a lot warmer.

Pretty darn epic today even with the squalls that passed over the plan is to put of the heat unedited for now and when i get home to Sisters Oregon put together highlights. The footage will unedited on the heats on demand. Only way I can get them up. I shot the contest from 8:00 am till 3:00 pm. One of the judges came down and had me replay the 1st heat. That means that the 3rd heat will be a little light.
