We said a couple of weeks back on this very blog that our good friends from www.votwo.co.uk were training for a serious Open Ocean Surski race in Spain.

Well the race was an awesome spectacle - some 230 paddlers lined up at the mass start on the beach in front of the beautiful medieval town, Vilajoiosa in Spain on 1 May. Thankfully another string to the bow of the guys (and girls) at Votwo is making great race and event videos as can be clearly seen below!

South Africa Dawid Mocke won the race, making no mistakes as he dropped the other lead paddlers a third of the way into the course, however the overall winners were the paddlers who had an awesome day out - working hard in the heat and the flat conditions, but in front of some spectacular coastline that combined desolate rocky outcrops and cliffs with the glitzy beachfront of Benidorm.

This video tells the story of the 2010 edition of this great race.
