Recently completed the first source to sea riverboarding descent of the Orange River. At 2460km, it is the longest river in Southern Africa and the second longest riverboarding expedition to date.

Seems to have been a problem with the site the last few days, with the domain not directing you to where you should have been going. Sorry for any inconvenience. Hopefully all sorted now...

Spent yesterday with the SA Shark Conservancy tagging sharks. Here, a newly tagged Bronie is released back into False Bay after spending under 4min out of the water. Www.SharkConservancy.org

Still struggling to comprehend and put into words what the Orange River was actually like. So many emotions running through my body as I process it all...
