INSTRUCTIONAL PACKAGES

Our instructional packages are designed with three goals in mind... to form a relationship between Coach and Student; to enable the student's skill level to progress rapidly whilst maintaining good form; to provide the student with a base knowledge, upon which to reflect, experiment and expand.

 

LEARN TO ESKIMO ROLL  3 x 2hr lessons - $150

Relieve the pressure of trying to master the technique in 2 hours. Enables the student to perfect not only the roll but also braces and eskimo rescues. A relaxed and fun course for anyone of any ability.

STROKE DEVELOPMENT (OLD BCU 3 STAR)  2 x 3hr lessons - $150

If you are making a few mistakes or are not sure if what your doing is up to snuff, this course is great. Splitting the lesson enables the student to go away and practice before the next session -Learn, Practice, Correct. Includes video and photo analysis. Classes are conducted on flat, protected waterways.

ROUGH WATER DEVELOPMENT (OLD BCU 4 STAR)  3 x 3hr lessons - $195

Once you've mastered your 3 Star skills, the 4 Star certification allows you to put these skills to use on the open ocean. The only way to really get comfortable paddling in rough water is to clock a lot of hours - the 'Tybee Triangle' is the perfect place to do so. We will go over rescues and surf landings several times until it becomes second nature. We will even get you rolling in the surf. Classes will coincide with high tide to maximize the surf zones. By the end of this course, you will be ready to take and pass your 4 star test. The only prerequisite for this course is solid basic strokes and braces.

 

MULTI - DAY COURSES

Custom courses can be put together to suit your paddling needs. Give us a call and we will write a program of instruction just for you!
