great session

Every fortnight I share a free paddle session — not just to give you a workout, but to give you training you can trust.

With over 20 years of competing and coaching at world level, one thing I learnt early was this: your programme needs to come from people with proven success behind them. Anyone can tell you how to train, but not everyone has the results, experience or understanding to back it. When I was building myself as an athlete, I made sure my training came from coaches who had walked the path, achieved the results and understood what actually works.

I’m not saying this to boast. I’m saying it because it matters. The right training source shapes your progress, your confidence and your long‑term development. After 25 years of world titles, podiums and coaching paddlers at every level, I know what works — and I want to pass that on.

Here is your free paddle session for this fortnight. Share it with your paddlers, your club and your training partners.

WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE ...

Paddlers preparing for the 2026 Berg River Canoe Marathon were in a buoyant mood this week with dams filling up fast and the river flowing strongly – maybe a bit too strongly at times.

There is no doubt the winter rains have arrived in the Western Cape and the omens are good for July 15-18, with those that are already committed looking forward to a "good Berg" in just over two months time.

Entries for the 2026 event are open on the PaddleSport SA entry portal (https://paddler.paddlesportsa.com/)
