Australia's muscleman and unsung hero, Tim Jacobs (36) to-day issued due-reminder of his immense endurance-paddling talents by winning Hong Kong's 23km Steelcase Dragon Run final world surfski series event in most emphatic fashion when he raced across the finish-line 52 seconds ahead of his nearest rival, South Africa's 2011 world-champion Dawid Mockè..

South Africa's Dawid Mockè said afterwards "Tim & I have now won this race and the Dubai Shamaal on 2 occasions each, and we always battle it out to the last metre, but I've got to acknowledge that "Tiny" Tim showed us who the boss is here to-day."

Hank McGregor, South Africa's world marathon K1 champion and generally regarded as the globe's best all-round K1, k2, single-surfski as well as double-surfski paddler, finished in 3rd place, just 35 seconds behind Mockè who heads the Ocean Paddler World Surfski Series (WSS) Rankings for 2011. This is Mockè's third world-title, having won it in 2009 and 2010 as well.

South Africa's Beijing Olympic K4 stroke, Michele Eray (SA) who was ruled out of the Dragon Run due to injury heads the Women's World Rankings...

    Surfski.info Review: Carbonology Sport Atom

    “Ok, let’s sprint to the other side of the harbor,” I said.   Issuing a challenge like that to my training partner Dale Lippstreu always results in a ball-bursting, neck and neck, 110% redline effort.  This time though he just disappeared (behind me) and 200m later I looked back to see him paddling backwards.  “I thought I had something on the rudder,” he said.  Nah.  We did it again and the same thing happened.  I was on an Carbonology Sport Atom – and on flat water it made me look like a paddling super-hero.

  • Fitting a Think rudder to a Fenn

    Fitting a Think rudder to a Fenn

    I have always wanted to fit an elliptical rudder to a Fenn, particularly a Mako 6 as it is my favourite ski. I can paddle an Elite but I prefer the 6 for all round stability and performance particularly in chop. Its main weakness is that the shark fin loses bite because of the ski's rocker and the fin's proximity to the tail causes the odd broach particularly in big swells.

    Back Pain: Don't do what I did!

    "Life's too short to learn from our own experience, instead, learn from others and save the expense..."

     I recently hurt my back and was forced to stop training in my kayak and ski for six weeks.  In the process of repair I found some amazing things I’ve been doing wrong for at least eighteen months, and thought surfski.info readers might benefit from my mistakes.

    Rudders - at last a manufacturer takes 'em seriously...

    Rudders are a critical part of any boat’s design – and in my opinion many of the rudders on surfskis are sub-optimal, to put it mildly.  But at last a manufacturer has got off their butt to offer a wide range of rudders for different conditions.

  • The Science of Paddling Part IV

    The Science of Paddling Part IV

    OK, so we all know that paddling in shallow water is a pain. You trim aggressively bow down to keep from experiencing that "sinking feeling" in the stern, and paddle like there's no tomorrow. Yet when you hit the shallows it still feels like you've hit a wall. Waves become steeper; your hull speed fulls. And heaven forbid if you're on someone's inside as you enter a shallow water turn. Hello, shoreline!
