    FAQs - for those of you bright enough to read the description before commenting with the same boring questions ... :)
    How old are you? - 28
    Where do you live? - Surrey, UK
    What hair product do you use? - VO5 Re-Work
    What do you ask for at the hairdresser? - The 'Ben Brown'
    What breed of dog is Alfie? - Tibetan Terrier
    When did you start kayaking? - When I was 8 years old.
    What size penny board do you ride? - I have both the Penny & the Nickel.
    What do your tattoos mean? My star was just because I thought it looked good. My skull was my reward for winning the marathon world championships in 2010, my triangle on my hand reminds me to keep moving forward and make progress, and my turtle/Pura Vida tattoo on my leg is a reminder of my amazing time in Costa Rica :)
    How do you make money? - UA-cam/Freelance film/photo & my clothing brand
    Do you ship Work In Progress clothing world wide? - We ship to most countries.
    What editing program do you use? - Premier Pro CC on Mac
    Did you go to university? - Nope
    Will you be going to the Olympics? - Hopefully if they introduce Marathon Kayaking into the Olympic program!
    Can you tell me where you get your t-shirts printed? - The answer is in one of my vlogs...
    What steady cam do you use? - A really cheap one from ebay.
    Why aren't you training for kayaking anymore? - I see new opportunities everyday, I'm just grabbing them as they appear and keep working hard, right now that's UA-cam & Film. I'm happy I made the change!
    How long do your vlogs take to edit? - They vary massively, sometimes 1 hour sometimes 6+
    Still got questions? Check my 'Ask Ben' Video! - • ASK BEN!

    Many things in this vlog made me happy:
    1. How the South African slang is slowly creeping into the way you speak
    2. Knowing I am not the only one who is obsessed with the ice-cream from Steers (their chips are amazing, too)
    3. How you acknowledged the fact that you were tired and someone else needed to drive. (We have many deaths because of road accidents during the festive season in SA)
    I can't wait to see the rest of the road trip! Be safe
    :)

    What's the speed limit there, 1000 km in a day, crazy slow. I've done NYC to South Florida, in a suburban, 1200+ miles in less than 24 hours; chill for a day and turn around and head back. So in total, I drove almost 4000 km in two days of driving; all by myself, burning rubber!
