Pushing the boundaries-The Head of the Dart race 12/4/2015
Billed as the “World Fastest Paddle Board-ever!” Is it? Read on and judge for yourself.
Last September after the Starboard conference, I got in my head to try the sprint unlimited
in a race, how fast is it? Do something that perhaps hasn’t been done before, push the boundaries!The opportunity to do a race in the UK and overseas (perhaps) on an unlimited board is very limited:-) How about the Head Of The Dart (HOTD)?
Just came back from an amazing one month trip to Oz, great trip which ended up with a keen focus on training as I’d been selected for Team GB for the World Champs in Mexico this May.
Here’s the highlights of the diary I kept (with photos!!) for your consumption!

Still hard to believe….started with 2nd overall in our Frostbite series in April, through to 3rd in the last UK SUP clubs race in the Gower mid-August. Total series points meant 3rd overall and 1st Masters in the UK SUP clubs’ 10 race series (12’6″)!!
A terrific third to top it all!

Even though I was physically prepared for this race, my mind wasn’t filled with the focus and desire for peak performance. Continue reading
BaySUP BOP, Bloomin’ Brilliant! 3rd!!
Flying towards the beach
This was the 6th race for me in the UK SUP clubs series, so really looking for some good points to add to my series total.
