This week’s PG Glass Rhodes Sports Personality nominee is Donovan Kennedy. Kennedy has been a paddler for seven years and joined the Rhodes Canoe Club in 2009, where he immediately made his mark.

He is both a river canoeist and a surf ski paddler on the ocean. Kennedy says, “I love the sport because it takes me places where not many people have been before.

This week’s PG Glass Rhodes Sports Personality nominee is Donovan Kennedy. Kennedy has been a paddler for seven years and joined the Rhodes Canoe Club in 2009, where he immediately made his mark.

He is both a river canoeist and a surf ski paddler on the ocean. Kennedy says, “I love the sport because it takes me places where not many people have been before.

I have paddled down rivers where there is no civilization for days. I’ve paddled out at sea where I’ve been a few metres away from whales.”

He has competed in a number of races and has been placed highly including being placed third in the U18 Surf Ski World Cup in 2007, third in 2008 and second in 2009.

He was also placed second in the U16 Dusi Canoe Marathon in 2007, first in the U18 SA river champs in 2008 and third in the SA Marathon champs in 2008.

He is entering six of the Discovery Men’s Health Winter Series races this coming vacation and hopes to perform well.

Kennedy is always ready to help new  paddlers: “I paddled on the Fish River with a 102kg novice in a K2 this past week end. It was tough but I enjoy helping out beginners, I know how hard it is to get started, I was a beginner too.”
