PaddleLife is back at the Canadian Downwind Championships with some exciting news!
PaddleLife, along with the support of its sponsors, presents, The PaddleLife World Tour 2018, with a fresh twist!
We are so excited to announce that Teneale Hatton will be coaching private lessons around the Canadian Surfski Championships this year! Teneale needs little introduction due to her countless achievements across surfski, flatwater kayak and adventure racing background. Well, we can at least start with the fact that she is a multiple World Champion, Olympic athlete, current World Record holder in the K1 1000m and that's just a start!
We are so proud to have her join our team and never before has it been so easy to receive a personal lesson with one of the best in the sport!
Teneale is an extremely experienced surfski coach and conducts her lessons 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 on the water with one of the best in the sport.
PaddleLife prides itself on offering the highest quality learning experience. Each lesson is adjusted accordingly to suit the level and speed of the paddler being coached. These private lessons are suitable for ALL levels of paddlers no matter your current craft or experience.
Lessons are available in 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 format.
