Living in South Africa and specifically Natal there is an element of freedom you just don't find anywhere else. Weather has been top the last 2 weeks and have been loving training.

Some personal video's from th weekend.

Good friends Wayne Ashford and Mark Sutherland shooting Marlow on the first tripping day.

Prime Circle went mad at the fish on Friday evening, so cool to see the pride of the South African music industry and a personal favourite rock out the tiny town of Cradock in the Karoo

I have done many races all over the world but one seems to stand out every year. The Fish River Canoe Marathon just cannot be missed. With a little shoulder admin I haven’t been able to train properly the last couple weeks so elected not to race.
