Into the sunset at Dudley Pringle Dam

The afternoon wind died down to present spectacular paddling conditions over the four and eight kilometre courses.

Paddlers powered through the water at the first sunset cruise series hosted by the Dolphin Coast Paddlers Club at Dudley Pringle Dam in Tongaat.

The three-race series, sponsored by Hunt Properties, is a lead-up and training ground for the annual Fish River Canoe Marathon in the Eastern Cape on October 5 and 6.

If you are flatwater proficient in a surf ski, river kayak or stand-up paddler, make your way to Dudley Pringle Dam for the last two races on September 14 and 28.
