If I don’t have an opportunity to paddle I try to compensate by watching some racing videos. Open water racing is always exotic for me living in Colorado.

Rambo is an outrigger canoe racer and innovative video maker from Australia. It is worth to surf through his blog Rambo’s Locker – a lot of great video clips and technical stuff. He also runs a forum for users of Go Pro Hero cameras.

Below I selected three recent movies from his production – open water racing in Australia. You can watch them in a full screen mode, just move away a little bit from your computer monitor.

Ocean Series Ski Race – Lion Island from Ocean Sports Media on Vimeo. The second round of the Bing Lee LG Ocean Series. ” Probably the most challenging filming i’ve had to do yet, like riding a bucking bronco on water. All shot from a Jet Ski last weekend. ”

Fenn Cup Downwind Series – Race 1 from Ocean Sports Media on Vimeo. Race 1 of the Fenn Cup Downwind Ocean Ski series at Long Reef NSW.

Nice shots of surfski racers in action with a wide angle Go Pro Hero camera.

Row For Cancer – 2009 from Ocean Sports Media on Vimeo. 4th Annual Health Foundation Row For Cancer.

If you still need more ocean paddling on your screen visit Ocean Paddler TV.

Now, I am ready for a paddling workout. Perhaps, I should also put my Pentax Optio W30 into work and shoot some video.
