Weekend----ing

Monday Morning and reflecting one classic weekend. I spoke is a recent post of how the goal for my holiday was to fill it with stoke and the things that make me tick. Words on the weekend pointless I would rather post a couple photos off my phone to show. Bad quality photography but should show what LIVING is!

So excited to be back home. Home being Durban and just in time for probably the most exciting event ever being Urban Rage.

 

I will be riding the 2 man teams and looking forward to testing out some of the amazing course Max Cluer and his team have put together in the Durban Point waterfront.
 
Max had kindly given me some entries into the event to give away on www.barrylewin...

Negative Blogging and Finding the Stoke
2010-12-07 06:46:16 by Barry Lewin

I got chirped quite hard from some of my readers about how negative my blog on the Dubai Shamaal was. I really appreciate your feedback and keep it coming. 

I believe a blog is a personal account and I can really be anything as long as it is honest. Well I was down after the race and therefore my blog a bit negative. I am ok with that. There are many sacrifices made in the road leading into such a race and for it to not go well is hard. Hence the mood.
 
I am not a negative person and the mood certainly doesn’t last long. It is very easy for...

Dubai Shamaal - Death in the desert
2010-12-04 11:00:46 by Barry Lewin

 

What a tough way to end off the year. The race one of the hardest I have done. Hot and flat as could be. 
 
Photo stolen from www.surfski.info who did an awesome job in covering the race. Thanks Rob!
 
 
I got a great start. Thank goodness this element of my paddling is coming back. Practice makes perfect. I went onto Gr...

Dubai Shamaal Preview
2010-12-02 12:20:36 by Barry Lewin

I am sitting on a balcony looking over the lights of Dubai. There is no place quite like this. The marvel of building a city out of the dust knocks you back a spec. My thoughts ahead of the 5th addiction of the Dubai Shamaal are mirrors to some extent on the city lights. The marvel of a small group of paddlers putting together the richest race in the world on in the desert and helping surfski to the next level astounds me. 

The Course
 
The course if different to the last 2 years. The wind is blowing from the other direction which means...

Paddle Fest Time
2010-12-01 06:03:15 by Barry Lewin

I had a mare leaving Durban to Dubai this week for the shamaal. Flight was cancelled and went back home to come back the next day. Not ideal.

View from my accomadation, thanks Kath!

I am finally in the desert for what I like to call paddle fest. The money the race puts up draws the best paddlers in the world to this race. Plenty world champions and even better surfski paddlers from from accross the globe. Surfski is now truely a global sport and this is wh...
