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.
