Here's a solo and tandem open canoe run from this past weekend in Durango, CO:

Any tips to going faster?

cadster,
those were nice runs! we should do that more often. getting out of the ovation would make us faster! i went down there this morning and paddled about for awhile. greg and i paddled from the parking lot up to smelter, worked on ferries, and greg's roll (2 for 4 today, with those two being his first combat rolls). when the dww dvd comes out i'll burn it or download our races.

I'm happy with being so clean.

Two things to going faster are reducing my rudders and carving into the upstreams gates. I stall out solo thru the upstreams, but you kept us moving tandem. I suspect we could carve better with an outside lean.

Did you want me to post your OC1 run?
