[Editor: Here's a surfski story with a difference - a 300 mile race through the Florida Everglades.  Carter Johnson sent us the story of his epic three day race.]

The Watertribe Everglades challenge is a small boat race that takes you 300 miles down the Western coast of Florida from Tampa Bay to Key Largo. There are no mandatory stops and you may captain any small craft that you choose as well as pick from an infinite number of routes.  The course will take you thru endless channels, large bays, open ocean and swamps. The event is run by Steve Isaac otherwise known as "The Chief".

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

The race, now its 4^th 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.
