Paddling Background

Both Dale and I have paddled National and International races for many years covering mostly the Outrigger, SUP Surf Ski and Kayak. As a competitor and water enthusiast, our knowledge and experience on the water along with our fluid training methods and understanding of what the body needs to better our paddling stroke, gives us the edge from any other current programs here in NZ. Not only have we spent thousands of hours on the water, we have the results to prove it having competed and won multiple National And International Long Distance and Short Distance titles throughout our paddling careers. We are accomplished paddlers in both Team and Individual events.
