This is the big Florida race, before you get jacked up about the times it is a 450 meter course and tidal. One Canadian team represented Heat.

I raced Puff 2 years ago. At that time, they would have been a C-final at best if they had raced at the Nationals in Welland. They may have improved though.

it was a good day of racing. Perfect conditions. Sunny and cool. Light breeze. No tide. great water. cold beer and hot women.

Is it time for the annual "How would a Florida team do in a Canadian race" debate yet?

Let's skip it this year.

Heat was there, entered two teams red and black, split squad? Finished 5th with one boat.

where the canadian teams paddlers from?

"This is the big Florida race" = LOL!!!!!


Define "big" -- especially after the WORLDS were held there in August. You Florida hypesters never cease to amaze. But keep it coming. The comic relief is always welcome. : )

Maybe it is the biggest race held in Florida annually?

And so it is referred to as the 'big' race in Florida.

The Heat were Pat Bradley's group that was in town for a week long camp. This race is the big annual Spring race in the region.

wants to see video of the D-Stroke.
