Run by Paddle Australia Sea Guide Bart Malecki, an avid Down Wind ski paddler, this session is best suited for ocean ski and touring sea kayaks. We run our sessions in Jervis Bay - a spectacular backdrop for an early morning paddle. Sessions are designed to promote efficient paddling technique, improve fitness and are a great way to move towards the amazing sport of down-wind paddling or just improving overall cardio health and paddling skills. Our Blast paddles are structured to provide a variety and vary from 45 minute tempo paddles to various interval style structured sessions. We welcome a range of paddlers and fitness levels and have designed out-and-back routes to ensure that we paddle and finish as a group. Bart will provide some coaching during the session and focus on sound forward stroke technique and a good range of defensive paddling skills.

If your goal is to improve core strength and general paddling ability, or move towards the fantastic world of downwind paddling, then this is the perfect session.
