MOCKE Paddle Leash
Falling out of a surfski is not the most fun, and getting back in quickly and safely with as little fuss as possible is priority. The MOCKE Paddle Leash makes it a whole heap less complicated as you don’t have to worry about letting go of your paddle.

Thule Kayak Carrier 874
After a few short trips with my Fenn Swordfish surfski on the roof in a south-easter over the weekend, I rushed to buy a Thule Kayak Carrier 874 set.

Mocke Racer PFD
In cycling there is a “no helmet, no ride” rule — in paddling it’s the “no PFD, no paddle” rule. The new Mocke Racer PFD has undergone a total re-design and is now ISO tested and approved.

Surfski rudders
I damaged the rudder on my Fenn Swordfish when trying to carry my boat in a howling south-easter. I was keen to try an elliptical rudder, so bought an Orka Elliptica rudder from The Paddling Centre, leaving the original with them to be repaired.

Fenn Swordfish Surfski
So, after a morning of testing out some surfskis with the help of the awesome guys from The Paddling Centre (thanks Dawid and Gary), I decided that the Fenn Swordfish was the best fit for me, and ordered one.

Orka Inner Glass Shaft paddle
I last did any paddling of note in the 80’s. Flat paddles were still the norm, and the fancier wing paddles were experimental at that stage, though catching on fast. These days wing paddles are pretty much the standard, and appear to have proven themselves.

Surfski testing
I am determined to take part in Totalsports Challenge 2013, so I went to try out some surfskis at Fish Hoek Beach courtesy of The Paddling Centre. If you are keen on getting into some paddling, Dawid and Nikki Mocke and their team are the ticket: friendly, knowledgeable service from world champ paddlers!
