Here’s my quicky report on this year’s AuSable Canoe Marathon…

120 miles of fun, all night long. Winners take 14-15 hours.

This year had the most teams ever enter, 90 or so.

They’re also going for the largest purse in pro canoeing, $50k.

So here’s what I’m talking about… A Youtube video taken with a camera on the bow of a racer’s canoe during the first 9 minutes of the race.

You get the Lemans start down to the total mayhem of the put-in on the narrow river to a near-tipover to finally a bit of settling down all in the first mile as shown in the cam. Check out the crowds! The massive bumps, squeezes, grinds and collisions! Feel the paddles of a dozen boats just ram you in your bowcam…
