The ICF world championships of ocean racing took place weekend before last at the city of Durban on South Africa's Indian Ocean coast. Here, Dawid Mocke drags his boat out of the surf for the final sprint to the finish line up on the beach. Dawid finished ninth overall and first in the men's 45-49 age group.
In a mere three months I'll be in Dawid's hometown of Fish Hoek, over on the Atlantic side of South Africa. There I'll be coached in downwind paddling techniques by Dawid and his younger brother Jasper, who finished 12th overall and second in the 40-44 age group at Durban. Hopefully I'll also see Dawid's son Sam, who claimed the junior (under 18) title while finishing 30th overall.
If being around guys like that can't motivate me to do some training in the next three months, then nothing can.
