One of Jodie's secret weapons is her network of talented friends and film makers. Both years of the Pacific Paddle Games Jodie commissioned her friend helicopter pilot Chad Halstead to provide aerial coverage for still photographers and Red camera operators to capture the amazing view that the sea of racers provided. Chad was able to get up close and personal providing amazing coverage for post event assets.
