Inter Varsity Surf Ski
Posted by Alexa Lombard on Thursday, March 11, 2010
In and around Cape Town there are the 2 big traditional Universities, The University of Cape Town (UCT or Ikeys) and the University of Stellenbosch (US or Maties), UCT sits on the slopes of Table Mountain while the Maties lie just outside Cape Town in the beautiful town of Stellenbosch, heart of the Cape Winelands.
UCT is an English University while Maties is a traditionally Afrikaans speaking University and for more than a centuary the rivalry between the two has been legendary (Rugby, Cricket, Water Polo, Hockey etc).
So it was just a matter of time before Surf Ski was the next sport. Clifton was chosen as the venue for the race with 2 laps of 3.5 km from the beach around Fishermans and Barkers Rocks.
The Start, not many better venues in Summer than Clifton in the evening with Table Mountain in the Background

Apart from the two varsities there was also a team made up of the various Techs in Cape Town, the format simple 10 students per team for the Inter Varsity, and 10 Ex students per team from the varsities. Followed by 10 doubles carring other students.
Well the competition was fierce with a quality field on the line, the best of Cape Towns surfski paddlers having a full go as can be seen by the results.
All in all a great success and well done to Billy Harker for putting it all together.
Heading for the finish, Lions Head in the Background.

Hi and welcome to my new site. As you can see it is still unfinished, but a work in progress. My name is Alexa Lombard/Cole and through this site I hope to bring you lots of different information and content about all types of paddling (my past time) and paddle manufacturing (my business).
