What the day feels like

What the month feels like on the water

Early mornings become a steady progression: a brisk warm‑up on the board, coached technique work that targets trunk stability, cadence sets with short sprint intervals, and guided practice to transfer improved mechanics into longer, more sustainable paddling.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this one‑month course suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Morning training seekersIdeal for people who want a structured, twice‑weekly morning routine to improve endurance and paddle technique over a month.
2
Beginners and early intermediatesA good fit for newcomers because boards, paddles and PFDs are provided and instruction is hands‑on, though space is limited so prior registration is required.
3
Athletes seeking small‑group coachingThe ten‑person cap allows focused coaching and progress tracking across four weeks of sessions.
4
Those unable to commit to preset classesNot ideal for travelers who cannot commit to two sessions per week for a month or who expect walk‑on availability—preregistration and limited spots apply.
