Two of Aussie's top paddlers have just finished competing in Puerto Rico.

After two days of competition Angie Van Hoof and Paul Jackson (Fanatic Team riders) have finished 2nd & 4th respectively.

Jacko finished 6th on Day 1 in extreme heat after injuring his neck the day before but recovered on day 2 in a series of 4 sprint races (even beating Danny Ching) to recover to 4th over all.

Angie recovered from the heat on the distance paddle on Day 1 to finish the sprint day 2nd overall. A 1st and a 2nd in the sprints helped her overall tally.
Winners overall were Danny and Candice Appelby.

Well done AussiesNo mean feat to beat Danny Cha Ching

This was a really fun event and from the sounds of it it is going to get a LLOOTT bigger next year!! Super fun place to hang out as well there are good waves all over the place(bummed i had no wave board) the water is HOT and the weather is about as humid as can be!
There should be a heap of Vids and Pics on facebook as it was really well covered from what i seen, I'll try and find a good site and link it to here!

Oh well sitting in the airport now with a flight delay so should be back in Aus in around 30 or so hours!!
