We are doing our first ever workshop series in the Great Lakes and we can't wait!!! The paddling looks beautiful and we are looking forward to meeting everyone!
Along with the support of TC Surfski, we have some awesome workshops lined up. We have a PaddleLife Surfski workshop scheduled for Saturday July 30th and a Downwind Skills Workshop scheduled for Sunday July 31st.
All workshops are conducted by the international surfski champion, Sean Rice. Sean is an extremely experienced surfski coach and conducts his workshops in a friendly and relaxed manner. Each paddler will come away with a whole new field of surfski knowledge and will experience an unforgettable day on the water with one of the best in the sport.
PaddleLife prides itself on offering a high quality learning experience. All workshops are limited to a small group of 12 participants to ensure everyone gets one-on-one experience. Each workshop is adjusted accordingly to suit the level and speed of the group. Both workshops will be a half-day event.
To us, the surfski lifestyle is not only about keeping fit and healthy - it is about meeting new friends and hanging out with like minded people! We will have a very casual, social dinner/drinks on the Saturday evening. Details of this will be confirmed closer to the time.
Sean will also be offering some private/one-on-one lessons on the alternate afternoon to the downwind workshop. For more information about these and for scheduling - email him directly on info@yourpaddlelife.com
It's going to be a fantastic week of surfski fun - there is something for every level of paddler. Don't miss out on a super learning experience and an overall fun weekend with Sean and TC Surfski.
The workshop details are below. Please pop us an email if you have any questions about the weekend or would just like to chat about surfski paddling!
