ImageThe 2007 New Balance Men’s Health Peninsula Challenge was held in Cape Town, South Africa on the weekend of 24th/25th February.

 

The race, now its 4th year provides a fitting climax to the end of the Sunday racing season.  The format is simple – a two day doubles race totaling some 50km with the courses decided on the day to take advantage of the prevailing weather conditions.  Although the race is aimed at the doubles teams, singles are welcome to take part.

The 2006 St Francis Ski Series, organised by Nigel and Gavin Harvey and sponsored by INVESTEC and AQA with product support from POWERADE is always a favourite amongst the paddlers, this year's event was no exception. Weather wasn't the best, but the paddling certainly made up for it and the support was overwhelming.

ImageAs surf ski paddlers we tend to view Sea Kayakers as a breed apart - funny old fashioned tubs toddling along with those peculiar flip-up rudders.  Odd creatures.

But the recent Discovery Men's Health race at Seaforth, Simonstown, provided an opportunity for a mixing of the cultures...  the result was hilarious as you'll see below.

Hats off to the sea kayakers for coming along and taking part - especially in the testing weather conditions that saw some forty of the hundred-odd skis retire from the race.

Here's an account of the race seen through the eyes of sea kayaker Paul Weber.
