UCC Coaching in Cork, Bey!

I have to thank good people of Cork invited me down to do some 'Surf Kayak' coaching last weekend. The day was organised by University College Cork and Paddlesurf.ie. Most of the students had only been paddling for around 6 months and for some it was just their second time in the surf. I definitely noticed improvements over the course of the day, and hopefully some of the key points will stick with them. Remember folks it takes time on the water and consolidation time before skills become natural and an unconscious action but you will get there, I've no doubt about that! There is a short report on the 'Munster Dive & Canoe' blog here

Thanks for the great welcome I hope to do some more sessions with you in the future.

Here is some footage from the recent Ocean Addicts waveski & surf kayak coaching camp. Really good group of people on the course so made it a very enjoyable week. The footage is from sessions where students were working on various skills such as getting air, cut backs and re-entries. Plenty of spills so we know they were trying! Thank you again to everyone involved for making it a great week. Look out for the upcoming feature on kayaksurf.net from their roving reporter Pete Copp who has some quality pictures too!
