Technique Tune-Up

Make the most of video to see where to improve your paddling for speed, ease & efficiency.

Stand up paddling is the ultimate all-body workout. But if you are not using the correct paddle technique, you will not maximise the benefit.

What you will learn

Our technique sessions are designed to help you improve the speed, ease and efficiency of your paddling.

What’s covered

In a technique session we go through the 5 phases of the paddle stroke and identify any areas to modify or refine.

During the paddle I take a short video of you on the water.

A 30 minute Zoom session is scheduled to view the video and analyse each stage of your paddle stroke.

Location Notes

  • All lessons start from Double Bay Beach at the end of Beach Road.

  • The only nearby toilets are the public toilets in Steyne Park, so come ready to paddle

  • There is no kiosk or area to store items at the beach, so you may need to leave towel, change of clothes etc. in your car or on the beach. The instructor will have a dry bag that to carry your water and sunscreen if needed.
