A New Generation Double: The Custom Kayaks Apex
With time we will look back on the decade from the mid nineties to the mid noughties as a time when new boat design was caught up in an indecent flurry, aggravated by the scrapping of the ICF kayak width rule. In a drive to be faster and cooler, boats became thinner - and dramatically less stable. However as Dave Macleod found after testing the new Custom Kayaks double ski, it is time to enjoy the new age where speed comes with stability.

The new Fenn Mako Elite has now been out for, what, 8 months? And, like others, I've been looking for a thorough review of the ski but haven't seen one. So, exercising fiduciary irresponsibility, I went ahead and purchased one before I had seen or paddled it.

Who are the top dozen surf ski paddlers in South Africa? In Durban you have Oscar and Herman Chalupsky, Hank McGregor, Daryl Bartho, Clint Pretorious and Barry Lewin (with a nod to a healthy Matthew Bouman and Bevan Manson).

A couple of weeks ago, in the latter stages of a Millers Run, I was beginning to relax as I approached the entrance to Fish Hoek bay when a shape appeared from behind in a burst of spray - I took violent avoiding action as Alexa Lombard came storming down the face of a wave, almost taking off the nose of my ski. Galvanized into action, I managed to stick with her, wave for wave... for about two minutes. But the slim blond figure finally took a wave that I missed and she disappeared rapidly a couple of hundred metres ahead.

At 25, Barry Lewin is one of the younger surf ski paddlers on the circuit. He's had a pretty good season - 4th in San Francisco; 9th in Dubai; 8th in Perth; and 3rd in Plett behind Dawid Mocke and Hank McGregor. It's a fair bet then that he'll be in the top ten at Molokai - and he's hungry for more.
