Stand Up Paddling the crazy Zambezi river for the future of rhinos Brittany Parker - I've proposed many adventures in the past and what always seemed to be lacking in those proposals was purpose. This trip is different. This trip has a cause, I'm throwing myself down one of the most notoriously rowdy rivers to save the rhinos. The point is that this attempt to paddle the Zambezi is so nuts (the craziest thing I've ever agreed to do) that it's bound to get some attention. Our mission is to use that attention and direct it towards something bigger—the poaching crisis in South Africa.

You could catch more than one fish to better your overall length but were only alowed to land 3 pike- this was to give them a chance and not put them under too much pressure. Czech Open Men's Team, Hiko, Coming to UAE International Rafting Federation - Hiko is a team with whom we have already worked (European R4 heavy machinery, Hiko rafting team), and they are generally well known, so we will skip the introductory part and move on to questions.
