While chilly temperatures are settling in here in North America, spring is blossoming in the southern hemisphere, and in no place is the action hotter than in Western Australia, where a big week of surfski racing is in progress. It'll culminate this Saturday with "The Doctor," one of the most prestigious events on the international racing calendar. The Doctor starts at Rottnest Island and finishes on Sorrento Beach at Perth.
Only a handful of U.S. paddlers have made the trip "down under" to participate, and one of them is standing at the right end of this group of ladies. Ana Swetish of Bellingham, Washington, is a contender for the Under-21 title in The Doctor.
Anybody who has seen my film "A Paddler's Journey" knows that Ana is part of my "panel of experts." If you have not seen my film, I'm planning to make it available for viewing again very soon. Stay tuned for further details.
