The 2010 Pete Marlin event saw the cream of South African Surfski paddling converge on East London where Dawid Mocke took the SA singles title and (with brother Jasper) the doubles title too.

In the late1960’s San Francisco played host to the Summer of Love, a historic celebration of creative expression and social experimentation for thousands of hippies from around the world.

“The Steelcase Dragon Run” International Surfski and Outrigger Championships 2011 will take place in Hong Kong on Saturday November 19, 2011.

WaveChaser Paddle Series announces the 9th annual US Surfski Championships will be contested in San Francisco Bay the weekend of August 13-14.  Race organizers expect an international field of top paddlers including racers from South Africa, New Zealand, and the United States.

Durban: The 54th running of the Discovery Scottburgh to Brighton surfski race was completely dominated by the “Cape storm” of former world champ Dawid Mocke and younger brother Jasper, Sean Rice (Cape Town) and Richard von Wildemann (Port Elizabeth) who completely obliterated the local contingent in challenging downwind conditions to claim places one to four overall.

To the relief of the paddlers, a 10-15kt breeze kicked up some small whitehorses and 1-1.5m swell to provide some downwind conditions for the third Island Shamaal Mauritius Ocean Classic.

Durban – Hank McGregor snagged his third Dunlop Surfski World Cup title showing the rich vein of form he is in at the moment beating a very powerful field and an uncooperative flat ocean to comfortably win the 26km race and the hefty R40000 winner’s prize.

Not quite what we came for: no wind, and massive surf at the finish!  Hank McGregor was too strong for the rest of the field; Matt Bouman came second; Dawid Mocke third.  Michele Eray won the women’s race; Nikki Mocke came second.
