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 around the world. 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 Canadian Surfski Championships, a fantastic event, not to be missed.
Sean is offering workshops around the event - along with lots of socialising and surfski banter thoughout the whole time.
All Levels Surfski Workshop - Porteau Cove

This is by far the best way to gain from Sean's visit. We are putting on a full day, intensive surfski workshop the day after Canadian Surfski Champs. It is a super way to end off what's going to be a fantastic weekend. This workshop is suitable for all levels of surfski paddling. The workshop will consist of land-based theory and water-based paddling drills. Sean will cover all aspects of surfski paddling in a fun and friendly environment. We will do a 3 hour session and then stop for a picnic lunch break. This will be followed by an afternoon session which will be focused on downwind paddling and catching the wind!
