SURFSKIING
Surfskiing is one of the fastest growing water sports
in the world. This fast-paced sport allows students to
experience the freedom of the ocean and keep fit at the
same time. Varsity College offers surfskiing as a sport on
campuses in Durban (Durban North and Westville), Cape
Town and Port Elizabeth. Each of our Surfski Clubs are
equipped with surfskis and paddles, allowing beginners to
get involved in this exciting sport without huge financial
commitment for gear and equipment. Aside from the great
social aspect, there is also a serious competitive side to
surfskiing at Varsity College, with students taking part in
various series around the country and internationally.
We’re also proud to have top class paddlers such as Kenny
Rice (Cape Town Campus), Tom Lovemore (Durban North
Campus), Cameron Hudson (Westville Campus), Dee Kotse
(PE campus) and newcomer to VC Donna Hutton (PMB
Campus) as Sports Life Club Captains. Their wealth of
experience and passion for the sport is taking paddling
at Varsity College to the next level!
CANOEING
From a tranquil river paddle to the excitement
of the white waters of the Dusi or Fish River,
canoeing is an action-packed and healthy
outdoor sport. Varsity College offers canoeing
in Durban (Durban North and Westville),
Pietermaritzburg, Cape Town and Port
Elizabeth, and the highlight of the canoeing
calendar is the National USSA Champs that take
place during the Fish River Canoe Marathon
every year. The Varsity College Canoe Club is
registered with Canoeing South Africa.
