Viewfinder servo focus-tracking with Rebel 650d?

Hi,

I have a canon 650d. I sometimes shoot sports (kayak racing) and I would like to be able to focus on a subject through the viewfinder and maintain servo focus tracking as it moves about the frame.

I generally use back-button servo focus. I've tried changing settings, changing focus points, however it doesn't seem to work all that well.

Can I do it with this camera, or do I need a better camera for sports?

Tom
