We have sourced a range of paddling sessions leading up to the event that will get even the most beginner paddlers surfing down waves and whooping with delight all the way around the paddle course! Not being a paddler is no longer a valid excuse for not giving the Anaconda a crack!
Bruce Dunlop's One-on-One Kayak Sessions
Bruce is still available to run one-on-one sessions and encourages you to contact him directly. This personalised one-on-one tuition, with a one hour session will cost $50 (plus $30 if a boat is required).
You can choose to ride on the back of a double ski with Bruce, or alongside him on a single. Anyone who has ridden on the back of a double-ski with Bruce will appreciate just how much value (and exhilaration!) you'll get in that one hour.
Bruce is a very experienced and accomplished surf skier and you're guaranteed to walk away from these sessions with a much better knowledge of how to use the ocean swells to your advantage on race day.
Dates/times are dependent on Bruce's availability so if you are interested email Bruce on jbdunlop@optusnet.com.au or call him on 0409 147 601.
