Levi Mayes, 15, from Fish Hoek, took part in his first Robben Island Freedom Paddle on Tuesday April 27.
He completed the gruelling 29km paddle around the island on a prone paddle board, which is similar to a Mali board used for lifesaving . Paddlers can go either way depending on conditions This time the call was to go anti-clockwise . He managed to keep up with the top two paddlers until the last 150 metres and came in second as the first two tied in first place.
