Cape Point Challenge (Cape Town, South Africa)

[2026-02-19] Started in 1980 by local lifesavers looking to test their mettle, this is often dubbed the "World's Toughest One-Day Surfski Race." Depending on the course layout for the year, it covers around 50 to 54 kilometers. Paddlers typically start in Scarborough or Witsands, navigate around the iconic and turbulent Cape of Good Hope (Cape Point), and finish at Fish Hoek beach. Cold water, massive Atlantic swells, and gale-force South-Easterly winds make this a brutal test of endurance. >>
