Happy New Year !

OA wishes everyone a happy new year and the strength to stick to those resolutions and goals for 2012 and beyond!
I intend to do more river running this winter. look out for inland courses next year. looking forward to the new surf ski my Dad won in South Africa arriving March. There is plenty of scope for this sport in the North West that's for sure. Also there are the European Waveski Titles in Ericiera Portugal to look forward to. Thats in April/May, and there should be a few folk from Ireland going to that.
Some exciting news too. OA has a new partner for 2012. DUEM kayak gear has come on board so we are looking forward to working with them and the Irish dealer. More news to follow on that one.
So, once again thanks for all the support during the year and happy new year to all!! See you on the water in 2012, Carry on!

Ocean Addicts Coaching & Development week

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!
