SA National Lifesaving Camps - Blue Water Bay
2010-03-31 16:36:06 by Barry Lewin

It’s taken me 3 days of pondering over the happenings over last week’s nationals to sit down and write this blog. Such a contrast of positive and negative coming out of the champs I really don’t know where to start.

Lifesaving is in trouble. It is so badly run. Let’s leave it there. I don’t want to one of those doods who just bad mouths things. The problem is people now days are exposed to professionally run events that their (and my) perspectives have changed and we expect so much more.

There are so many positives on the other h...

Been hectic busy the first part of the year so have only just managed to head into the Jeep Apparel head office to hook up some of their awesome kit for the year. The Jeep family put their heads together thanks to Lisa and picked some of Jeep's latest range for me, so blessed!

First up was the Jeep Urban Utility Range. Just the funkiest young vibe and design with a slimmer fit.

Omko - Low Low Low
2010-03-15 13:43:42 by Barry Lewin

Anthony Grote (www.anthonygrote.com) kindly send me these photo's of Justin and I in what little water there was. Dont let these photos fool you, it was super low.

We bumped and bashed rocks down the Omko over the weekend. What a nightmare compared to the raging rapids everyone is used to. My fat wide boat even moved some rocks in that river. There were some high's though. The overnight camp was cool and shooting 5-6 rapids a...

Training on a role and photos from todays jetski ride
2010-03-07 11:37:13 by Barry Lewin

I won’t lie, I am a little broken, for the right reasons though. Really put in the hours training in my Surfski with some stand out sessions. Personal best 6km beach run time, chasing Ant Stott around La Mercy doing really fast 1000 times and hectically rough dice at DUC on Thursday just to name a few. Finished off the week with a 150km Jetski ride with the C2C4C crew from Omko to Umhloti and back. Serial early morning condi...

Rory Kockott's Making a Difference with Coast 2 Coast 4 CANSA
2010-03-07 10:51:43 by Barry Lewin

Press Release - Olivia Jone Communications!

The Sharks’ social responsibility initiatives took on a whole new and interesting complexion on Thursday when five months of beard were unceremoniously – but with great care – removed from the face of Rory Kockott.

For those who thought it was just an unkept mess, they were right, but it was for all the right reasons with Rory raising money for Cancer Awareness and to show his support for the Coast 2 Coast 4 CANSA expedition.
 
“We spoke to the Sharks PR people who agreed that ...

Drak Frustrations
2010-03-02 02:44:37 by Barry Lewin

I popped a seat pin 20m into the race and had to stop on the first bend to sort the problem out and only really got going some 15min later. So frustrating. I haven’t been able to race any of the Marine Series race being the organiser so this is the first time I have had a chance to race and see how the training is going. Not to be, that’s river racing for you. 

The weekend in the berg was all time. I have to give it to the Drak, they put on ...
