| - | One of the best opportunities for training with great paddlers has now become common at major paddle races. The biggest surfski and outrigger races typically draw many of the world's best paddlers some of whom provide either multiday training or daily training runs that you can sign up for well in advance. Downwinders in **surfski or OC doubles** with a champion can be an eye opener. Races such as the [[:races:columbia_gorge_races|Gorge Downwind Championships]], <del>[[:races:races_canada#bc|Canadian]][[:races:races_canada#bc| Ocean Racing ]]</del> (on hold), [[https://www.facebook.com/MauiToMolokai/|Maui to Molokai]], and [[https://oceanpaddler.com/ocean-events/the-doctor/|The Doctor]] will have several training opportunities that will be advertised (and often fill up) well ahead of their associated races. **One caveat**, email addresses on websites for making contact are often out of date or are just not regularly checked. Be creative and persistent in your efforts to make contact if your first attempts do not elicit any response. | + | One of the best opportunities for training with great paddlers has now become common at some major paddle races.
