 This is a direct quote from the pre race hype for the ICF World Champs "The location of the race means that it can take a number of routes dependent on the orientation of the wind." This is a direct quote from the pre race hype for the ICF World Champs "The location of the race means that it can take a number of routes dependent on the orientation of the wind."
  
-So why did they make all the paddlers race in way less than ideal side wind conditions? ​ I'm sure Ana, Wilson and everyone else would have preferred an actual downwind race.+So why did they make all the paddlers race in way less than ideal side wind conditions?

 A fair question. A fair question.
  
-While there were many course options and a three day window, this week was thrown out of normal weather patterns by hurricane Dorian. So given the options, I believe they chose the best day and the best course that they could. ​ The only other course option on Wednesday would have been down wind but inside the peninsula so very sheltered.+While there were many course options and a three day window, this week was thrown out of normal weather patterns by hurricane Dorian.

-This was an incredibly well run event and a great venue that had potential to deliver proper ocean racing conditions. ​ Sadly it didn’t come to fruition.+This was an incredibly well run event and a great venue that had potential to deliver proper ocean racing conditions.

 Hi Alan,\\ Hi Alan,\\
-The course the ICF offered was that best conditions available during the window. ​ Everybody would always like paddle in perfect downwind conditions all the time, but that is not a reality. ​ Part of Ocean Racing is being able to handle whatever the ocean throws at you.  It was certainly a course that challenged the best paddlers in the world, the most versatile paddlers prevailed! ​ Oscar didn't race because it wasn't pure downwind. ​ The ICF put on a great race.  Well organized. ​ I was impressed with huge number of younger paddlers participating in the Open, U-23 and U-18 categories. ​ I think the ICF is doing a good job of growing the sport. ​  ​I would return to do another race here for sure.  Hearing from other racers you have participated in races here in previous years, conditions have been very good.  As a race organizer it drives me crazy when people criticize events base on weather.+The course the ICF offered was that best conditions available during the window.

 The way I see it, the masters began at age 35 and was divided into 5 year age brackets. The way I see it, the masters began at age 35 and was divided into 5 year age brackets.

-David, based on the links results, Greg would have finished between an hour and 4 hrs behind the leader. ​ Hard to tell, but don’t think so! Probably need to wait until the results are cleaned up.\\+David, based on the links results, Greg would have finished between an hour and 4 hrs behind the leader. Hard to tell, but don’t think so!
