Toad's Wildwater Adventures

Welcome to the kayaking blog of Ben Maynard. I am a 26 year old from Tasmania, Australia, and am currently seeking sponsorship. Present sponsors are the Tasmanian Institute of Sport, City of Greater Geelong/Bis-Sport, Dagger Australia, Geelong Canoe Club, Kayak4Play, and TEVA (links below). After top 20 individual results and a top 5 team result in 2006, my goals are top 10 individually and a teams medal at the next Wildwater World Championships in Italy 2008. Come along for the ride...

TEVA Wairoa Extreme 2007




My last race for the summer is the Teva Wairoa Extreme in New Zealand. Me, Andrew, Macca and Tim fly out this Sunday morning for 10-12 days boating on the West Coast of the South Island, then we'll make our way up to the North Island for the Wairoa race on Feb 10-11, after which we'll have a week of boating on the North Island before coming home. At this stage, Dan looks like joining us for the race and week after as well.

I'll try and update the site while in NZ wherever possible, otherwise check the event website:
