Hi
I am after some videos of the Robson twintip (C1 of course) in action on some waves.
Could anyone point me towards any?

Thanks,
Peter

I've got a little footage. I'll try to dig it out and post it sometime this week.

Hi,
I think a few month back, somebady posted a link in this forum to a video of Stefan Paetsch in a Twin Tip.

I'm a little slow...

This first clip is of Craig Smerda from the US Team Trials at the Route 3 Wave. The feature is kinda lame but...

This one is of Eli Helbert paddling Craigs Twin Tip at Garberator on the Ottawa. I think Eli said he hadn't been in a C-1 for a couple of years.

Sorry about the music and lack of editing. My computer is acting up.

Thanks Dale,

ummm... little wave vs. big wave. The twintip is a very solid wave boat. The stern is a bit slicey for hole work.. but when it hits some green water.. boom! At the worlds I would feel comfortable saying at least half the field was using twintips. Too bad there wasn't more wave than hole.

PS> Eli never did let me use my own boat that day on the Ottawa... go figure.
