Surfski
At Dabulamanzi Canoe Club, our passion for paddling extends beyond the rivers and lakes. We’re proud to introduce our Ocean Tribe – the Transvaal Navy. While Gauteng might seem too far from the coast to have a navy, our members make up for it with unparalleled grit, passion, and gees. Whether you’re an experienced paddler or just starting out, join us and experience the thrill of the ocean. For more information, contact Gary Ralph (082 852 8288) and become part of our adventurous community.
See the 2024 below. Please double check event dates when planning a race as they can sometimes change. Please contact Gary Ralph 082 852 8288 with any corrections or additional dates.
