High Altitude Surf Ski Champs

This is to confirm that the High Altitude Ski Champs will take place on Thursday 22 March  ...Autumn Equinox...at 5.45pm We did consider changing the date to 29 March but this will clash with the club AGM. Custom Kayaks had offered sponsorship if we could change the date. Thank you. Perhaps next year. Once again Brad the Fish is sponsoring. Thank you.

CSA Safety Report #1/2012

Well this year's Drak Challenge very definitely delivered a race with significant contrasting conditions; i.e. low, hot & technical for Saturday and full, cool & comfortable for Sunday. Both days' required different craft & river reading skills, with the vast majority of the record entry succeeding. However, for some, (28% I'm told) it wasn't such. What I did notice with mixed interest & concern, was the following:

 

Dabs Club Awards 2011

The following members received awards at the annual Dabs/Scarc Dinner Dance on November 12, 2011.

Dambuster - Report

From Jennie: After the heat of the day before, the Dambuster race day dawned murky and overcast although humidity promised showers later which did occur and the shade from the glaring sun may have offered the 125 finishers some relief!

Access Disks

A number of our club members are having problems with their access discs.

HERE IS THE PLAN!

Boat Racks - Notice

The boats listed below are illegally squatting in the Dabulamanzi Canoe Club rack car park. Should you be the owner of any of these boats you will need to appear with your R250.00 ZAR (Fine) to claim you boat back. This only applies to owners who are currently paid up members. If you are not a paid up member - you will incur the additional cost of reregistering for the 2011 > 2012 season.

Nine Yards (5 Feb '12)

A long one!!! Given that the State of the Nation address is imminent, I thought that I would extend this month’s Nine Yards a tad!!

Dabs Highveld Croc

From Jennie: Whoopee what a wonderful way to kick off the new year on this awesome river! The Highveld Croc race organized by Dabulamanzi Canoe Club took place yesterday on Sunday 8 January from near the Lion Park to near Hartebeespoort dam a distance of 33kms on the water with some 8 kms of portaging included to toughen up those training for Dusi, although a paddle only option was available for the woesies, like me, who love to paddle but don’t do the portage thing!  Also a great opportunity to get to know this wonderful river we have in our back garden which is so seldom enjoyed by local paddlers.
