Glassy conditions are the hardest to balance in!
I paddled to Muizenberg beach and back on a beautiful winter evening. The route takes me out of Fish Hoek bay past the Kalk Bay harbour and village then past St James toMuizenberg. The route is 10 km and along the way I discuss various points especially why I find calm, glassy conditions to be the most unstable and hardest to balance in! I also ride a wave at St James tidal pool on the way and then surf some more waves at Muizenberg and give some good descriptions of riding a wave and paddling back out through the surf. This route is one of my ‘go to’ routes at home.

OLIFANTSBOS DOWNWIND - ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE SURFSKI ROUTES!
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.Год назад
Jasper and @DawidMocke head to Kommetjie again and are joined by Iwona Gangarc, Jess Lee and Heath Clark for a 16km downwind on surfski to Olifantsbos in the Cape Point Nature Reserve. The wind of 15 knots created runs of about 3 feet that was super fun and manageable. This finish is always hard to spot and Jasper stopped to point out the landmarks to the others. We spotted some Bontebok at the...

Downwind in the shadow of Table Mountain from Three Anchor Bay to Big Bay
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
On this day a light south westerly was blowing on the Atlantic side of the Cape Peninsula. We started our downwind at Three Anchor Bay the foot of Table Mountain, one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, and headed towards Big Bay which signals the start of the incredible West Coast of Africa. After paddling out for a few kilometers we got onto a good line for the finish. The runs were 1 - 2 ...
We paddled to a secret beach at Cape Point. Flattest day ever!

This is the flattest day we have ever experienced at Cape Point. After launching at Platboom beach and hugging the cliffs at the Cape of Good Hope the water turned a magnificent turquoise blue. There was no swell so we paddled next to the sand at Dias beach. Unheard of! As the group moved on to the Point two of us checked out a secret beach. Its possible that no one has ever been there!

The Millers Run wasn’t working so we went from Kommetjie to Scarborough ☀️🌊
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.Год назад
This paddle was during our Downwind Camps in January 2023. Usually we do the Millers Run, the best downwind in the world, but on this day the North West wind was blowing which meant False Bay was flat so we loaded up the trailer and van to drive over the Cape Peninsula and paddle a unique route. Our paddlers loved it! They saw some amazing scenery and paddled on the Atlantic ocean. This is the ...

    Unbelievable skill and technique to handle that cross swell like a Boss. Making such tricky conditions look easy in the V12. Superb, Jasper. Coaching points are epic too and how well you filmed. Proper advanced gold. I think all who have attempted or want to learn these skills appreciate this hugely! Thanks!

    I have sat on the back of a double ski with Dawid Mocke, and was amazed what he caught and the sprint power he turned on well before I would spool up power for a wave. Its great to see what Dawid & Jasper Mocke does to catch more complicated swells and runs!

    • @paddleafrica
      @paddleafrica 9 месяцев назад

      Hi Jake! No purpose for this paddle! I use them for resistance (strength) training (by wrapping it around the boat with the tennis balls underneath) on flatter days and just keep them on the surfski.

      En resumen, algo así como: Mantén la potencia, la velocidad y la confianza, apunta al 'hombro' (evitar el punto mas alto) de la ola, aléjate (en esta ocasión) de los surfistas y levanta la pala por encima de la cresta de la ola. Y alguien comentó aquí: "Se olvidó de mencionar la parte de permanecer en el barco". Groeten desde los Paises Bajos!

    Best instructional video I've ever seen. Thank you! (Swells that big through a GoPro lens are even bigger in the real world!) Only 500 views for it in a month proves just how underrated down wind paddling is. (Not that I'm complaining -what used to be an obscure sport now has surfers all over the world thinking nothing of taking a number in the lineup to get a ride!)

    Thanks Jasper, just bought my first ski and really looking forward to getting some downwind experience on it! Been consistently strong offshore here just north of Sydney. Agree with the use of small runners not going in the main swell and wave directions, I use them all the time in my sea kayak to help keep speed up. Saving my pennies to get onto one of your courses now!
