2012 Irish Open

Thanks to all those that made the Waveski and Surf Kayak Irish Open run this weekend! There was a really high standard at this years event and competitors were definitely challenged by the small onshore conditions.World HP kayak champion Chris Hobson cleaned up in both IC and HP classes. Only one point difference between 1st and 4th place in the Waveski class which was stylishly won by Kieran Davies from Devon UK.
Ocean Addicts was pleased to sponsor this event with support from Gath and Mitchell Blades.

Waveski Open Results
1st Kieran Davies UK
2nd Sam Jones UK
3rd Mark Trise UK
4th Marty McCann IRL

Full results and pictures will be up on the Paddlesurf facebook page in the coming days.

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!
