Gorge Downwind Champs week downwind #?????
Second time downwinding on a Cantare Pro, on race day. We decided not to race as we would have our first day of racing at the IDBF Club Crew World Championships in 5 days. That, plus flying cross-country and re-adjusting to EDT made doing a downwind at our own pace the best decision.
I built up a lot of confidence throughout the week, but especially when using the Cantare. It's nimble enough that it requires you to be confident in your balance, and it helped to both cover up the mistakes I made when downwinding and fly when I was spot on ;)
Do I regret not racing? A little. But I think future Katie will thank me when I am not broken during CCWC and am hungry to race the Gorge next year.

Thank you! The experience from being there for a week + the Cantare definitely helped!

@@KTCanoe Awesome! Looking forward to visiting The Gorge next year. The Cantare seemed to catch the swells effortlessly. No wonder why OC1 paddling is on the rise. Paddle on 😊

@@josuedelucca7252 definitely try to make it out next year! Of the 3 boats I had the opportunity to paddle (Kahele, Cantare, Volare), it was easiest in the Cantare for me to catch waves of any size. I could catch small-medium waves just as easily in the Kahele, but it was harder to stay on them. It is much easier to stay on them in the Cantare, at least for someone of my stature. Volare was challenging for me (and even my fiancé and guy friends) to get benefit on small waves and it took a lot of strength to get on any wave. Volare would definitely take some time for them to adjust to. Ultimately, the dudes preferred the Kahele. This was also a year where there was one afternoon of bigger stuff, so maybe if there was bigger stuff the whole week, they would have liked the Volare more? But who knows.
