Surf Ski Classes

Covid-19 Notice – PLEASE READ..

SBP is now open to individual and small group private lessons (1-4 p max) people. Paddling is a naturally distanced activity and great for much exercise and fresh air.

WHERE TO START? 

I offer private beginning, intermediate and advanced surf ski lessons. You should have you own ski and paddle (kayak style or wing) but I can provide wetsuits, booties, PFDs, leash and an optional helmet.

MY METHOD

With a background in sea, surf and whitewater kayaking and over a decade with SUP I have in-depth experience with paddling PNW waters in all conditions all year. My approach to surf ski is less about strict flat water competitive racing technique and instead more about having fun, paddling safe, staying injury free and helping you get to your next level on flat water, surf, downwinding and/or in the tidal rapids of Deception Pass. 

For Beginning thru advanced kayaking classes contact Body Boat Blade, the Kayak Academy and NW Outdoor Center.

HOW TO SIGN UP

• Contact me first about the class you’re interested in.

SKILL LEVELS

Beginning – You’re new to paddling and/or have limited experience and/or have difficulty with balance on your ski, self-rescue, etc.

Intermediate – You have at least a year of regular paddling in a variety of conditions, can paddle over small waves, in wind and on boat wakes, can capsize, wet-exit and get back on easily.

Advanced – You can comfortably paddle in large surf, downwind in high winds, paddle rivers and/or open water or swift current in most big conditions.
