The last few months of having a dedicated digital stills camera has been really fun again, shooting for the thrill of it and getting some memories of life. taken in Atlantic Ocean by @ta_devs

Ever wondered what it takes to get through a big adventure race? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Arguably one of the best multi-sport athletes in South Africa, Lance Kime - will teach you how to fuel, right here. 

Having won the Dusi Canoe Marathon, Defender Trophy South Africa 2026, multiple adventure races & the Mr Sweets contest - to name but a few locally & internationally - and an integral member of @teamsonglines - this man is worth listening to.

No Frills. No Fuss. Swellendam 2026

I’ve had the absolute privilege (and I mean that in every sense of the word) to work with @brundle3 , @volksvreemd & crew on a number of their adventure races over the last 4 years now. 

Coming from a place where I had very little understanding of what an AR was, to being indoctrinated into the cult of believing that AR is probably one of the toughest sports to compete in today, I am too stoked to share some of the stills from the 2026 Swellendam edition of the series. 

There is nobody else I would rather run around at 3am in the morning with fuelled by coffee & banana bread @brundle and I must thank you deeply for exposing me to your world and your continued sharing of your space and people with me. 

While most sports are hard to encapsulate in an image, the nature of AR makes it completely futile to even try. 

My hope is these images I captured manage to share, in the smallest shape and form, a bit of the feelings and emotions from the weekend. 

To everyone who competed, you’re all a bunch of bladdy legends and you inspire the rest of us to do hard things. 

And that is where the marrow of life lives <3 

Til next year. 

Happy racing. taken in Swellendam, South Africa by @ta_devs

pioneer
/ˌpʌɪəˈnɪə/
A pioneer is a person who is first to explore a new area, settle in a new land, or develop a new idea and skill.

They toed the line.
They stood in the arena.
Some failed greatly.
Some ended in the highest achievement.

An incredible film by @ta_devs (footage captured by @ta_devs and @mentz_germishuis )

REIMAGINE

“Beyond The World We Know,
 A New Relationship With Our Ocean.”

This is the theme for United Nations World Oceans Day today!

We are invited to transform our perception that the ocean is vast, distant and separate from us, to understanding that it has always flowed through us, in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the climate that makes our lives possible. 

Reimagine is to move together “from PASSIVE INHERITORS of the ocean’s generosity to ACTIVE GUARDIANS of its future.” 🌍🌎🌏

Old Ocean ’25 

A little Hawksbill turtle swim by. 

The more you watch animals the more you learn. And I have learnt SO much in the last few years. From what initially feels like a very chaotic and random space, the more time you spend in the sea the more you start seeing personalities emerge across species and individual animals. 

For me this turtle swimming right towards and past me was such an epic moment! 

A little bit of patience paying off. taken in Sodwana Bay by @ta_devs

Conservation in 645

The rollercoaster that has been 2025 has seen lots of ups & lots of downs, but one of the biggest highlights has been several trips to the Cederberg to @driehoekcederberg helping to document @sustainableceder epic work & connect with the most wholesome people. 

Shoots are long and tough and wear you down, but the Cederberg definitely fills the cup in more ways than long hours could ever empty it. 

1 more trip on the cards for the year and then 2026 we’re coming for you! taken in Cederberg Wilderness Area by @ta_devs
