PaddleLife, along with the support of it's sponsors, presents The Summer Surfski Tour 2016!! An extensive tour dedicated to spreading the sport and lifestyle of surfski paddling to people in the UK. 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 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.
This set of workshops is scheduled around The Forth Challenge, a fantastic event, not to be missed.
Sean is offering workshops over the weekend - along with lots of socialising and surfski banter thoughout the whole weekend.
