Morning and evening sessions in Blouberg were broken up by the arrival of the Cape Doctor. The infamous SE wind roars in and calls downwind paddlers to the water like a siren. Downwinder addictions are fed by the awesome Downwind Dash SUP series that happens every Wednesday at sunset from November through to March. Paddlers set off on the 10km downwind run from Milnerton Lighthouse to Big Bay in Blouberg. Meeting up with Local Fanatic Rider Brad Adams who came 3rd overall last year, he familiarised us with the top spots and all the possibilities for paddle boarding in and around Cape Town. Having been sucked into the relentless action right on our doorstep, we decided to make an effort and do a road trip around the Cape to explore the beaches and bays and see what we could get into elsewhere.
