02-07-2020 - James Casey - SUP Low Tide but some serious flow going on with a rushing out tide, had to dodge some rocks along the way. 10 knot wind from the NW which had little effect, the tide was the major influence. Not the best repesentation of a 500m sprint as I think the tide was too fast but it is the fastest 500m effort I had today. On my Sunova Flatwater Faast 14 x 21.5, VMG Time Trial and VMG 82 Orca Paddle Expand/Collapse James Casey Male 20-29 July 2, 2020 Low Tide but some serious flow going on with a rushing out tide, had to dodge some rocks along the way. 10 knot wind from the NW which had little effect, the tide was the major influence.

07-04-2020 - James Casey - SUP An up and back 1km TT to finish the session. Blowy westerly and some tiny southerly swells. Tried the wide loop turn but I think a pivot turn would've been faster.

17-01-2021 - James Casey - SUP Akuna Bay, fast on the way down, very slight headwind breeze on the first 1.5km of return, eased towards the end. Had three boats pass me one same direction the other two opposite direction, probably evened itself out. That 4th km really let me down but still quickest I'v done in a while, might've left another 10 seconds out there...

20-12-2020 - James Casey - SUP Light SE wind so was a bit quicker on the way down then on the return. Did the top half of the lake which meant had to go under the bridge each way but still think it's quicker than the traditional sup5.0 course. Quickest time I've ever done on the lake!
