Langebaan SUP race

Off to Langebaan this weekend to compete in the 5km SUP race. Conditions are looking good and proceeds go towards a good cause! Come have a look at the new Coreban flat water range and give them a go. Look forward to seeing you guys there!

Sporting Chance

Today I visited a few of the Sporting Chance clinics around Cape Town and spoke to the kids about what it takes to be a successful sportsperson.

It was a great experience meeting with all the kids aswell as the coaches who are very passionate and driven in what they do.

Sporting Chance is an initiative that brings people together from all different walks of life by allowing them the opportunity to participate in all types of sports.

Sporting Chances philosophy is to "get children off the streets, away from their computer games and TVs and instill in them, a love of sport"

Over the years, Sporting Chance has helped to develop some of South Africa's most promising sportspeople.

I'm really stoked to be part of such a great initiative and look forward to being more involved with the Sporting Chance team in the future.

Muizenberg barreling!

Every once in a while when Muizenberg is VERY good, you get someone saying that they got barreled or  saw a wave barreling, for some people it is very hard to believe! Here is some evidence for all you non believers;-)

Shark???

This picture was taken by my friend Mike "Langer" Malan a couple of months ago and created alot of debate as to whether it was a great white or just an illusion in the water? They recently uploaded the picture onto local surf website ZIGZAG where shark expert Brandon Kilbride confirms that it was indeed a great white!

Luck was definitely on your side Langer, I guess that after the Jonny saw how long you were he went back to Seal Island to call some mates;-)

Really cool old school surf cabby that I saw when I was in Peru!

   World Paddleboard Games 2012 Lima Peru

   Team SA just returned back from the first ever world stand up paddleboard championships! The event took place in Lima Peru at a beach called La Pamilla. The wave was a soft and fun little right hander, perfect for paddleboarding. The water was warm and the the vibe amongst the 17 different countries on the beach was amazing!

   After the 7 days of competition in perfect conditions for both wave riding aswell as SUP races and prone paddleboard races, team SA finished with a Bronze medal overall. A great result for the first ISA paddleboard event!

   Thanks to both Gary “Inca” van Rooyen (coach) and Bruce Tedder (manager) for all their hard work and helping us to achieve everything we did!

   We are all excited to make the team again next year and do better by taking out team Australia and achieving GOLD!
