PaddleLife, along with the support of its sponsors, presents, The PaddleLife World Tour 2018!
An extensive tour of the world dedicated to spreading the sport and lifestyle of surfski paddling to as many people as possible. We have some awesome events and workshops lined up.
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 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!
Our workshops are suitable for ALL levels.
