Let's not forget the incredible role that the late, great John Oliver played in our special race.

A true Dusi man who was there for every race and never stopped giving back to the event that he was so passionate about.

We miss you John.

There aren't many sporting events where the scenery changes quite this dramatically.

One moment you're fighting through rapids, the next you're surrounded by the KZN landscape and wondering why you don't do this every weekend.

Then the next rapid arrives! We can't get enough.
