Haven't seen this before - I wonder what has happened that means they need to stand in their boat?? Can you imagine the difficulty to balance at speed, and if you hit anything! Seems like great fun tho :P Afterwards another Powerboat comes past in the more traditional sitting down position..
Middle Swan Reserve and Bridge is just about 1km in ahead - I don't have a video there..

The race water level at the Walyunga Paddlers Gauge was 0.66m when I paddled past at approx 12pm on Sunday, much nicer than the 0.5m of last year but still not what you would call 'high'.
