Trip of a lifetime!
September 19th - 27th, 2025
If you are a surf ski paddler you would have heard about the famous "Millers Run" in South Africa and the world class downwinds on Mauritius Island. The paddling here is world class and the wind blows everyday. We have the 2009-2012 legendary World Champion Dawid Mocke as leading coach together with coach Luke Horder. Everyday we will use our van/trailer to ensure everyone is in the best downwind spot possible and the daily hangouts with the team for breakfast, lunch and dinner is the highlight as we share the amazing experiences with like minded people.
The $5500 trip price includes accommodation in South Africa and Mauritius Island (double bed, own room) with breakfast included, plus surf ski rental each day, with all trailer/van transport logistics and coaching for every paddle all included. If you would like to bring your partner on the trip they can share your double bed/own room accommodation and join us for the breakfast, lunch and dinner team fun. On this amazing trip we will take care of everything for you and communicate with you well in advance so you know whats coming up each day.
