🚗💨 One of our lucky paddlers is heading home with NEW wheels!

A huge thank you to our awesome partners @dunloptyres for once again giving away a set of tyres up to the value of R10 000 at the Prescient Freedom Paddle prize giving 🙌

The prize giving is always a fun and engaging part of the event — and this year’s tyre giveaway challenge definitely brought the gees 😂🔥

Thank you Dunlop for being part of the journey and helping us create memorable moments both on and off the water 🌊

Missing the vibes we felt at Prescient Freedom Paddle 2026! 🫶

There is such a feel-good energy in the surf ski community and that came through at the iconic paddle around Robben Island in a big way! 🙌

As paddlers ourselves, its special to be part of an event like this to bring in more stoke and kit out the community with the best tie downs, roof racks, and cradles to make their paddling days even more of a pleasure! 🌊

We can’t wait for the next one!

A huge well done to the entire Prescient Freedom Paddle team and all the paddlers that braved the big swell and cold conditions in celebration of Freedom Day 🇿🇦

We loved getting to be a part of the story and engaging with all of you at our bag drop station. It is always a pleasure to witness people from all walks of life get out and enjoy our natural playgrounds. by @paddlefreedom

On Friday, we got together with a group of engaged environmental actors & planet protectors to clean up Milnerton Beach, ahead of the legendary Freedom Paddle. ♻️🌍🛶

Special thanks to @guardiansofthedeep.oceanlegacy @sealandgear @cocacolaza and @paddlefreedom for making this Beach Clean Up happen. And, a shoutout to @sanparks @sanparks_volunteers @kingsschoolgoodwood and @sanccob - it was awesome to have you all there, and we’re grateful to have been among you.👏

Together we can Protect our Paths - even if it’s just one piece at a time. 💚 taken in Milnerton Beach by @paddlefreedom

Today wasn’t just about the race — it was about partnership.

Prescient Fund Services CEO, Craig Mockford had the honour of delivering a speech at the prize giving, reinforcing our commitment to partnership and long-term impact.

We’re proud to stand alongside the people behind a world-class event, celebrate every paddler who showed up, and support beneficiaries like the Table Mountain National Park Marine Unit, whose work protects our oceans.

Because just like on the water — you can’t control the wind or the swell, but you can control how you show up, work together, and respond.

At Prescient Fund Services, that’s how we see partnership: a steady force behind the scenes, bringing discipline, resilience, and support so our clients can move forward with confidence.

Here’s to shared effort, strong partnerships, and long-term success. by @paddlefreedom
