We are excited to announce our first Surfski Workshop in Morges, Switzerland!
Dont miss this fantastic opportunity to learn from Molokai and World Surfski Champion SEAN RICE!
Join international surfski champion, Sean Rice for a weekend of Surfski fun! 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 time with one of the best in the sport.
We have 2 days of coaching planned for the weekend. Saturdays workshop is aimed at those paddlers who are new to paddling, Surfski or maybe just simply transitioning from a sea kayak etc into the sport. Sundays workshop is for all those paddlers who are not completely new to the sport and who are looking to improve on all of the finer details of their paddling. Each workshop will run from 9am-3pm and consists of land-based theory and plenty of water-based drills.
PaddleLife prides itself on offering the highest-quality learning experience. For this reason, we keep the group numbers very limited to allow for lots of 1-on-1 time between Sean and each paddler. All paddlers will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of the sport and with advice or improvement techniques specific to them. If your English is not very strong then don't worry! We will have translators with us so you won't miss a word!
Schedule for the weekend:
Saturday, 1st June 2019:
PaddleLife Workshop for beginner/intermediate level paddlers
Time: 9am-3pm
This will be the perfect opportunity to learn everything you might need to know about surfski paddling as a new paddler or if you are trying the sport with previous experience in other types of paddle craft. Don't wait to learn mistakes the hard way, instead get the professional advice and direction from the start and see IMMEDIATE improvements! ALL paddlers are welcome no matter your experience! If you've ever wanted just to try the sport then that time is now! We guarantee that every paddler attending will leave the day with a new level of confidence and experience that will leave you ready for a full summer of paddling ahead!
NO experience = NO problem!
Sunday, 2nd June 2019:
PaddleLife Workshop for intermediate/advanced level paddlers

The focus of the workshop is paddling in the open water and downwind skills, as well as training tips and race preparation. The day will begin with video analysis and review of each paddler and their stroke.

Join Sean even if you have participated before or on the Saturday and feel like you still have more to learn, it would be well worth returning. We guarantee that no matter your knowledge and experience, Sean can help you to improve!
