Videos from Around the World
Welcome to Surfski, Welcome to Adventure
Worldwide Paddling Video Samples (Mostly Downwinding)
each page of videos from around the world has approximately 12 entries (some have double ups for the same location or for the same downwinder). Although newer videos generally get added to the highest numbered tab list, these videos are not organized entirely chronologically - they get rearranged occasionally to maintain/improve variety within the lists.

From Lars Ginér (Westcoast Surfski Group):
Posting this with a heavy heart 
Love paddling and all the nice things that come with it but it takes up too much of my time. Struggling with the puzzle of life and the everyday job to wash, cook and clean and I understand that something must stand aside.
I've decided to get rid of my stuff. Below is a list. Serious suggestions are considered, no shame offers. Thank you in advance for your understanding and interest.
