One of my really good mates Olivia Symcox has been moaning at me for years now, come shark diving with me? To be honest I had the same reaction as most sane people. Are you crazy?

This is Olivia with as she calls it, HER sharks!

After some long chats about the merits of protecting these amazing animals I started to get more interested in what all the fuss was about. Slowly after seeing pictures of divers i...

No name and makes very little reference to self, more general topic's based away from self, very different approach.

According to the Durban papers I was going to be defending my title at the Avon this week. Pity they haven’t been reading this website or they would know I am focusing on my surfski racing and am about to head to the USA. I will be back at the Avon one day, it’s and amazing race.

With huge advances in technology in the last while it’s made having an online coach possible. What? An online coach? Yip! I first saw the concept being used about 2 years ago by one of mate, Dan Hugo (www.dghugo.com) who used a website called Training Peaks to upload data from his Garmin so his coach Gary Mandy could view it and analyse his training, adjusting his programme all on Dan’s online log. 

Good mate Dan Hugo just got an awesome 8^th at the Xterra World Champs in Hawaii. First South African home. So young and one of the best racing heads I have seen, please check out his blog and reports on his worlds experience at www.dghugo.com

Never really though much of it until we returned to the car a solid half hour later to see him still packing stuff into his boat.
