The Advanced Flow/Technique Paddling Group’s focus is on improving paddlers fitness while developing better stroke technique.Interval training is introduced to increase your heart rate and improve cardio fitness and paddling speed.The coach is also able to spend time on skill development to ensure you are pulling the paddle through the water using the right muscles, and you are confident in all paddling conditions.Please launch onto the water at least 5 mins before the class start time to ensure you are warmed up and have a better feel for the surf ski before we start the session.

L3/4 Cardio classes sessions are designed to make you feel uncomfortable. Being comfortable in your workout won’t see you gain results, however, being pushed by the Coach and the rest of the group will see you get up into the high V02 Max heart rate ranges. Increasing your V02 Max in each paddle session will make you a much fitter, happier person.

A paddler who can reach max heart rates and recover quickly is a sign of a very fit person.

Each session is led by an experienced coach Dave Neal who will place safety first whilst being mindful of each paddlers individual skill and experience level.The location provides an opportunity to develop the following set of open water skills:- Negotiating the impact zone as part of beach entry and exit.- Wave riding unbroken and broken waves.- Catching ocean wind waves and swell.- Improving strength and cardiovascular fitness.- Ski remounting skills in open water.- Practising paddler safety and assistance skills on the water.- Dealing with and harnessing refraction.- On water communication options (hand signals, radio, phone, epirbs etc).- Dealing with equipment failure (e.g. broken rudder line, broken paddle).There'll be a chance to debrief over coffee at the end of the session to compare stat's, share war stories and relive our time on the water.You certainly don't need to be an experienced ocean paddler to take part in these sessions, however at a minimum, you should be able to paddle and remount your ski comfortably in calm flatwater conditions.

Sunday Sesh is designed for you to focus on your paddle stroke technique and to not add any unnecessary stress to your body. The old saying "you need to walk before you can run". You need the right stroke technique and timing before you can paddle fast.  The session is (90mins) in duration where we introduce drills to highlight where the power phase is in your paddle stroke. A 10% increase in speed requires a 30% increase in power. 

If you are a level 3/4 paddler and what to slow it down and improve your technique while building more strength then in this class you either put the bungy resistance strap around your surf ski or glide more between strokes.  The coach gives a technique paddle drill first, then afterwards we do a harder interval set focusing on what we learnt in the drill. The focus here is improving your paddling strength and attention to detail. Please launch onto the water at least 5 mins before the class start time to ensure you are warmed up and have a better feel for the surf ski before we start the session.

The Thursday Enduro is a 90min class where the coach can take you out to South Head and give you a little ocean play.
