In the ocean we teach you how to pull the surf ski down the curvatures of swells and reach boat speeds of 30km/h. We will also focus on how to link from one run to other in the most efficient way possible to keep a high average boat speed and ultimately have a lot of fun along the way.

Starting from our enclosed trailer at Long Reef or La Perouse, paddlers will paddle out with the group for an ocean downwind (10km,15km or 22km).

The thrill of linking runners over a long distance is the true art of surf ski paddling.
