surfski.info - a new website from South Africa

Aims...

to make surfski information centralised and accessible
to build a lively community
to welcome and guide newcomers to the sport
to inform, advise and encourage paddlers
mainly to have fun

News, reviews, race informations, discussion forum.

Surfski.info is a non-profit community web site dedicated to furthering the sport of surfskiing.

The site is developed, maintained and run by Cape Town surfski enthusiast Alain Jaques with considerable help from Rob Mousley. Site content is gleaned off the web and provided by individual contributors. They start with a great article series - Getting started in surf ski: Introduction, Safety and Paddling.

Paddling for the first time: Be prepared to swim a lot! And don't worry about it. All first-time paddlers swim and remember - any paddlers laughing at you have been there before; and non-paddlers don't count! Paddling is easier of course on flat water; you might want to start on a lake or river. Just bear in mind though that waves are FUN and your ultimate goal is to paddle on the sea.

Living and paddling in Colorado I don't have too many pictures of surfskis, especially, from South Africa, but I am doing my best to illustrate this blog entry.
