Join 2016 US Olympic Coach & SurfSki World Champion Michele Eray, & 2016 Olympian and multiple time Team USA paddler/surf life saver Maggie Hogan on a 3 hour adventure into the world of Optimal Paddling Technique.
We will cover our 5 Fundamentals of Technique, which we have refined over the past 24 years of paddling, and applied to our own training. Our teaching is an innovative way of simplifying a highly technical skill, and teaching you to adapt the 5 Fundamentals to your own paddling.
The workshops are aimed at all levels of paddler wanting to learn something new about going faster with less effort!
Although our main topic is is Optimal Paddling Technique, we will also discuss:
Setting up your equipment
Going Downwind
Optimizing your technique & equipment for varied conditions
Reading the Conditions
Catching Runs
Less Effort for More Fun!
Paddle California is also offering the opportunity to do a DOWNWIND IN A DOUBLE SKI.
We will be in the new Nelo 600 double ski, which offers steering in both the back and the front, giving you the chance to be in the driver's seat, and get a great view of what runs you should be choosing!
Please contact Michele directly on info@paddlecal.com or (619)796-8048 to set up a session (depending on wind).
Cost: $150 per person.
What others are saying:
"Over the years, Michele Eray has established herself in a league of
her own when it comes to both downwind surfing and coaching.She has both been to the Olympics and coached Maggie Hogan who just qualified for RIO. This on top
of her second to none surfing ability puts her in the unique spot of possibly
being the most qualified Surfski coach on the planet."
