Novice looking for paddling buddies

I am a novice paddler looking for people to paddle with. I have done some (6 months) openwater paddling in East London. I live in Claremont.

Hey Francois!
Several suggestions:

• Contact Dawid Mocke and either attend a couple of sessions of surf ski school in Fish Hoek (where I guarantee you'll improve your paddling & meet people) or just ask him for some contact details of other novices. www.surfskischool.com
• Come down to Hout Bay on a Tuesday evening (when the wind isn't blowing) and join in the short course of the Tuesday series
• Contact Billy Harker ( www.surfski.co.za ) and come join in the short course of the Sunday races - he'll even organise to put you in the back of a double if you're keen
