| About me: | I'm a thrillseeker, adrenaline junkie living in Johannesburg, South Africa. I sandboard, snowboard, Freebord, windsurf, canoe, rapjump, bungee, extreme caving... and all other extreme sports. I'd love to show tourists a slightly alternative and exciting way to experience the beauty and wonder of South Africa. It really is a magical place and there's much more to do in Johannesburg than shop and visit Soweto (which, by the way has a 100 metre high bridge swing off of coolling towers). Come join me for the some life experiences you'll never forget. |

Activities I can help with:

I specialise in extreme sports in and around Johannesburg and South Africa in general. I've done it all from skydiving to caving. If you're looking to experience some adrenaline while touring South Africa then definitely look me up. I can take you: Skydiving (tandem or AFF) Sandboarding (down the historic mine dunmps in Johannesburg) Freebording (http:www.freebord.co.za) Rapjumping (forward abseiling down buildings) Brideswinging and bungee Zipline (longest in the world at Sun City) Caving (in Sterkfontein - a world heritage site) And many more activities. These extreme activities can be combined with visiting game parks to see the big 5 (I studied a Bsc in Botany and Zoology so am a very good game guide and I know birding too) as well as other cultural and historic sights. And if you want to party up a storm or just enjoy casual sundowners with great company, then I'm your man :)
