RIAAN MANSER - CIRCUM-KAYAKING MADAGASCAR -
July 2008 onwardsIn 2005, Riaan left Cape Town on a bicycle to circumnavigate Africa, beginning by heading up the west coast.
In a world first, he cycled 36 500km, crossing through every coastal country on the second largest continent, and returned 2 years and 2 months later.
Now, he has traded in his wheels for a paddle. His intention: to paddle around Madagascar in 10 months!
Riaan has always been determined to do things that no-one else has attempted or achieved. He is a born adventurer and his attraction to the unventured and unknown continually draws him to those challenges that most feel are impossible.
His inextinguishable passion to explore has him pushing his body and spirit to limits not dreamt of.
He has spent the last 12 months preparing physically, mentally and logistically to achieve his goal. Riaan has gone to great lengths customising standard products for his adventure to enable him to kayak unsupported around our largest neighbouring island.
Keep up with Riaan on his incredible adventure right here. He will be sending his location 3 times a day, and stories from his kayak.
Read more about his African circumnavigation at AFRICA 365.
Leave your message of support HERE for Riaan and he will collect it when he next signs in with us.

TEAM PROFILE  JAMES STEWARTA multi-talented farmer who believes in leading by example. He is the navigator of the Team. 'Lettuce' to all who know him, James is active in Mountain Search and Rescue operations, and is enormously involved with the Knysna Canoe Club and Plett Surf Lifesaving. With vast experience in water-based sports and mountain biking, including earning EPCU Colours, and a string of Adventure Races behind his name, Lettuce inspires and motivates his Team to push themselves to the limit to achieve their targets. CHRIS CREWDSON
An all-rounder in the great outdoors, 'Che-Che' has been the Development Officer for the Knysna Canoe Club and the Action Cycling MTB Racing Team. His strength and stamina have seen him through endurance events including the Berg River Marathon, the Peninsula Iron Man, the Foot of Africa and the Three Peaks. This year will see Che-Che take on the world of AR with a vengeance! With his relatively fresh introduction to multi-sport endurance events, his responsibility as press officer will give everyone good insight into what the Team experiences. CHRISTINE COLLINS
An impressive career in AR has seen 'BB' included in Team Germany in the 1996 Camel Trophy in Kalimantan. She has also been involved as support crew in the Land Rover G4 Challenges around the world. BB is no stranger to AR, and her mental and physical strength when faced with adversity often leave the rest of the Team astounded! JEFF WILLCOCKS
The intimidating list of achievements and experience behind 'Machine' on his mountain bike and in his running shoes is well known in those circles. He is best remembered for his incredible performance of riding with his partner on a tandem in the 2007 Cape Epic - an astounding feat perfomed unselfishly to get his medically-challenged partner over the finish. Although biking is his forte, marathons are a close second. Also relatively new to the AR scene, his awe-inspiring strength and inspiration on the bike has made its mark on the Team. AMANDA WILLIAMSON
Full of positive and enthusiastic energy for any challenge and with a 3rd place in the 2007 TransBaviaans, 'Maz' is no stranger to podium positions in the Scott Night Bike events, and her name constantly appears in MTB race top placings. Her commitment to excellence and desire to experience every angle of AR are qualities that will see her through the year ahead.
