Local paddling<\/a> icon Hank McGregor will be eyeing a second win in the Bay Union Surfski Series, when the Bay Union Surf Challenge gets underway at Marine Surf Lifesaving Club in Durban<\/a> on July 7.<\/p>\n

The race will be McGregor\u2019s last chance to perform on home soil before he jets off to the ICF Surfski World Championships in Portugal just days later.<\/p>\n

The new series, which started with the Bay Union Grading Race in May, offers KZN<\/a> paddlers three competitive but manageable events throughout the winter months, when the province\u2019s ocean conditions are at their finest.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to see so many paddlers supporting the first race of this new series back in May and we have no doubt that this week is going to be even better with even more paddlers enjoying Durban\u2019s awesome paddling conditions,\u201d said race director Barry Lewin.<\/p>\n

\u201cBay Union really has helped us up the level of surfski races in Durban this winter and our new series can only grow with their support!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
