Cape Town Downwind Series

For the locals (and visitors) there’s the Cape Town Downwind Series which focuses purely on downwind racing. There are a number of events, and each one is guaranteed to take place in downwind conditions only. That’s right- no grind.

Races are scheduled for a particular weekend (so be prepared to race on either Saturday or Sunday) and there are a couple of “spare” weekends tagged on to the race calendar in case there are weekends with absolutely no wind. Highly unlikely in Cape Town.

Oh, and to compete, you must be registered with Canoeing South Africa (CSA). You will however be allowed to enter one race, and one race only, if you are not registered.

Now get out there and start paddling!
