  Two of Cape Town's top paddlers, husband and wife team, Dawid and Nikki Mocke are ready to defend their titles in the Discovery Men's Health Summer Surfski Series that gets underway at Granger Bay on Sunday morning.
For the past four years the Mockes have dominated the event by winning the men's and woman's sections respectively, and they are hoping to make it five in a row as they take to the water this weekend. |

 Surfski paddlers will be challenging the runners again on Heritage Day, 25th September 2006, in Hout Bay.
Paddlers will set off on an 8km course while runners will do approximately 10 km up Chapman's Peak and then back to the harbour. Both paddlers and runners will cross the same finish line on the beach. Where do the cannons fit into the proceedings? |

 Paddlers have fewer than 100 days to train for the single most challenging event in the Surfski calendar: the 244km Port Elizabeth to East London "Surfski Challenge".
Changes this year include the omission of Woody Cape on the first day, and the one-way running of the race. In the past, organisers have run sections of the course "backwards" during bad weather to give paddlers a downwind leg. Not this year. In addition the Sunday is being reserved as a spare day in case any of the other days has to be cancelled due to inclement weather. |

As we all know, Surf Ski is growing as a sport. But that growth is presenting race organisers with a dilemma. More and more paddlers want to enter the "classic" races like the Cape Point Challenge and the PE to EL Challenge. But these races have reputations for extreme conditions, both in terms of endurance and the sea states that can occur on the course. |
