Presenting the Pro’s

After searching far and wide and a few failed matches both Chandelle and I have pro partners to paddle with us. These are the 2 legends who will save us from/prevent multiple near death experiences and safely take us from Pietermaritzburg to Durban (I mean why drive from Pietermaritzburg to Durban when you could paddle?)

Pro #1: Graeme

Graeme is my partner; he is father of 3, a husband to a delightful dietician and works as a manager at Rainbow Chicken. Graeme was born and raised in Johannesburg and moved to Pietermaritzburg in 1990.

Other Interests: Mountain biking and other adventure sports

Paddling Since: 1999

Number of Dusi’s done and dusted: 11

If he had a super power it would be…..”to read minds”

Pro #1: Graeme and his wife Grainne

Pro #2: Gordon

Gordon is Chandelle’s partner; he grew up in Baynesfield (PMB) and now lives on a small holding on the outskirts of Mooiriver with his wife and 2 kids. Gordon is self-employed at Bovasol, he produces and sells animal supplements and feeds.

Other Interests: Cycling, fishing, dirt biking and anything that gets your adrenaline pumping

Paddling Since:1992 – he attempted to complete the Dusi; however this endeavour proved to be unsuccessful. He picked the sport up again in 2003

Number of Dusi’s done and dusted: 7

If he had a super power it would be…..”to fly around the universe like Peter Pan and Tinkerbell”

Pro #2: Gordon
