We are so excited to announce the first ever PaddleLife Surfski Workshops in Singapore!
This PaddleLife Surfski workshop gives you the opportunity to achieve your best by learning from the best! The chance to learn from one of the best surfski paddlers in the world. Sean Rice is coming to your home town.
No matter what experience you have, PaddleLife workshops are a perfect opportunity to practice and improve your paddling skills. The workshop will be conducted by Sean Rice in a relaxed and friendly manner. Sean will give each person individual advice on equipment set up, stroke technique and other fundamental skills of ocean paddling. The number of people in the workshop is limited to ensure everyone gets one-on-one attention.
We are splitting the workshops into two groups: Advanced/Intermediate Workshop and a Beginner Workshop. Both workshops will be full-day events from 9am - 4pm. This will consist of two 3 hour sessions and a lunch break in between.
Topics covered in the workshops are below. For the intermediate/advanced workshop we will require everyone to have their own boat to use. For the beginner workshop - we understand many paddlers will be new to surfski (coming from Dragon Boat or Outrigger paddling). We want to attract new paddlers to surfski and introduce new people to the sport. Please let us know if you want to join the workshop but do not have your own surfski and we will do our best to sort you out.
If you have any questions about the workshops or equipment, please email Sean directly (info@yourpaddlelife.com) or Andrew Au on (andrewtcau@gmail.com)
Both workshops will consist of land-based theory and water-based practice. The whole day is a fun and friendly learning experience for everyone!

- Optimizing your equipment set up
- Paddle stroke technique
- Breaking down the stroke
- Stability drills and techniques
Topics covered in the intermediate/advanced workshops:
- Training tips and information
