I have the cooest sponsors ever. Jeep Apparel recently asked for a set of my racing kit to put up in their best preforming store. Well I went a bit further and signed one of my old paddle blades as well. The display just went up and Max kindly sent me a shot. So stoked!

The team is having an amazing year and hope to do them justice this weekend. back to training!

Put My Foot In It
2010-09-01 11:40:18 by Barry Lewin

Just as I was raging about the cool things we get to do when travelling like seeing Vanilla Ice live in my previous post here murfy’s law came up and bit me in the ass. I put my foot in it.

On our 6 hour drive to Portimao in the south of Portugal our van broke down in the middle of nowhere. It was 40 deg and almost died in the heat. Not ideal and had to get rescued. They loaded the ...

Azurara Beach Party

Nelo Summer Challenge - Sprint Races
2010-08-29 15:50:46 by Barry Lewin

The second day of racing consisted of a round robin knock out sprint event just like a lifesaving carnival. Nelo supplied all the spec skis for the 600m shootout.

 The best sprinter in the world are here so didn’t really expect anything from this race. Top end speed is not my thing (I am kak in this type of company).
 
The start would be vital to get position and with the speed of the 200m boys that meddled last weekend at worlds this was going to be a mission. They start was a run to your boat on the water’s edge, grab it and hit the ...

Nelo Summer Challenge - Downwind

Had a real mare today. Finished 6th. So tempted not to blog the bad stuff but how real is that. Don’t want to be that dood that moans ether. 

Warming up - Pic - Jasper Mocke

Nelo put on one hell of a show today with a sick event. The wind came through at the right time for the field. Glad it did more for the race organisers who had put in so much effort than for us who have really enjoyed our stay here in Portugal so far.
