If you paddle a surfski, you should know how to remount.

Not just know about remounting.

Actually practise it.

The key is to keep it simple:

Face the ski.
Get your body up and across the ski.
Get yourself back into the seat.
Keep your legs out.
Slowly start paddling again.
Don't rush the last part.

Get stable first, then start moving.

Remounting is one of the Essential Skills and a benchmark skill for a reason. It's something worth practising when the water is calm, so you're not trying to figure it out for the first time after a swim.

When was the last time you practised yours?

Some things are better experienced than explained.

A week of paddling, learning, good runs, great people and some of the best downwind conditions Cape Town has to offer.

That’s what our Downwind Camps are all about.

Thinking about trying out surfski?

There is no better way to start than getting on the water and giving it a go.

We'll help you with the basics, from getting comfortable in the ski and finding your balance to learning the paddle stroke and getting a feel for the ocean.

You don't need to know everything before you start. That's what we're here for.

Come paddle with us and see what surfski is all about.

We get this question a lot...

"How do I improve my balance?"

The answer usually surprises them.

Paddle.

A surfski becomes more stable when it's moving.

Keep your eyes forward.
Keep your hips still.
Engage your core.
Trust your stroke.

And remember... If things do go wrong:

Legs out. Paddle in the water. Stay calm.

Balance isn't about sitting perfectly still. It's about learning to move with the boat.

What's helped your balance improve the most?

Have You Experienced a Downwind Yet?

There are few feelings in paddling that compare to catching your first proper run.

The moment you stop fighting the ocean and start moving with it, everything changes.

Our Downwind Sessions are designed to help you experience exactly that. We'll guide you every step of the way on the famous Millers Run.

If downwind paddling has been on your bucket list, this is where to start.

Not every downwind changes your paddling. The right one does.

The biggest difference isn't the wind.

It's having someone beside you, showing you where to look, when to go, when to wait, and helping you understand what the ocean is trying to tell you.

That's what our Downwind Camps are about.

Small groups.
Real coaching.
Days on the water.
Evenings talking paddling.

Taking a good stroke isn't about pulling harder. It's about getting the basics right.

Every efficient stroke follows the same sequence:

✔️ Set the blade in front of your body.
✔️ Grab the water with a full blade.
✔️ Rotate through your hips and core.
✔️ Exit the blade early.
✔️ Recover cleanly and repeat.

The biggest mistake we see? Trying to pull the paddle behind your hips. Once the paddle passes your knees, you're no longer adding useful power—you’re slowing the ski down and wasting energy.

Master these fundamentals and you'll paddle:
• Faster with less effort
• More efficiently over long distances
• With better balance and control
• With fewer injuries

Don't chase power. Chase good technique. Speed follows.
