Getting Back Online

The HAKA blog has been silent for over a year, and I feel quite guilty for it.  No real excuse, other than being busy at work, and too lazy at night to catch up.  The biggest challenge is to cull through mountains of photos and videos to select good supporting footage.  In the coming months I hope to set aside a few days to carry out this task.  In future I'll be limiting the amount of footage.

The 2013 season was fairly quiet, with a few active paddlers like Wayne Moss being less active.  We gained several newcomers, including Quinton, Borja, the Sheehan brothers and Ryan G, all of whom are proving to be proficient paddlers.  We started regular Tuesday rolling sessions, and had quite an eventful, if short, season.

In 2014 the season started early, with some good runs on the Shavas.  Our by-now intermediate paddlers spent a lot of time on the Shavas, and we visited the Mazowe, Nyagui and Pungwe.  In March we held a very successful international kayaking festival, with 15 paddlers in all participating, including representatives from Bulawayo, Harare, Cape Town and other parts of South Africa.

Last weekend we completed a Giarezi trip, which has caused me to re-open the blog and start writing again.

Enjoy, and see you on the river!
