 In 2005 I paddled the Scottburgh to Brighton for the first time. It was my first experience too of the Durban surf. (Click here for the story.)
The day before the race we went to Scottburgh to have some fun in the waves. It took me a whole hour just to get out through the surf, and among other delightful memories I have a crystal clear picture of me exiting my ski over the stern, hands over my head in an attitude of surrender.
It's a great race though (really) but I thought I'd write up some of the lessons that I learned - for those others attempting the race for the first time this year on 8th July...
