The KZN, Gauteng and Free State river seasons start in earnest from September, while the Cape has already reached its zenith with the Breede. The Cape season starts picking up from April, going into the rainy winter season, reaching a crescendo with the tough Isuzu Berg River Canoe Marathon in July, now more accessible due to an innovative relay option (instituted in 2008). KZN's mild winters allow flat water activity throughout the year, although the rivers can become too low in areas. Training reaches fever pitch before the Hansa Powerade Dusi in the third week of January, but there's no time for slouching, as the surfski season starts without skipping a beat. There are a host of races throughout the year on rivers and dams catering for all age groups. Big races include the Hansa Powerade Dusi, Fish River Canoe Marathon, Isuzu Berg and Drak Challenge. There are canoe unions in KZN, Gauteng, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Central Districts. Contact Canoe SA www.canoesa.org.za International Canoe Federation http://www.canoeicf.com/icf
