Know before you Go!  Cape Town's one stop Learn to Paddle - whether kayak or surfski - we can either do surfski instruction or point you in the right direction to learn flat water kayak, white water kayak or sea kayak.  Most of the kayak and paddle schools are based in and around Cape Town.

No matter what level of paddler you are, we offer a learn to paddle course to suite your needs.

The Ocean ABC Paddling course? (The Ocean ABC Paddling course..."No kit, no clue"...)

This is for people who are totally fresh to the sport and want to get into it. It is also for those who have maybe done it once or twice, but haven't quite cracked it. At this stage you are dubbed as "No kit, no clue." This will be your first intro to the wonderful sport of offshore paddling.
You don't need ANY equipment; we provide the surf skis and the paddles, all you have to bring is your swimming gear.
You also get some notes and an Action Pack to get you on your way.

The Ocean ABC Paddling course takes you from: "This is a surf-ski..." to "This is how you catch a wave..." to "This is how to shoot a flare..." After completing the course you will have heard everything there is to hear about offshore paddling as well as given it a solid crack. However, the fun has only started...

The Ocean Paddler ( Enter the Ocean Paddler...Got the kit...what now?)

The Ocean Paddler classes are specifically there for you to get the hang of things under our watchful eye.
After completing the Ocean ABC of Paddling course you will now move onto practicing what we've preached. You've heard the story-rory, now go walk-the-talk baby; it's time to tame the beast.
You will now do your first set of 4 "Ocean Paddler" classes. Here we reinforce what was taught in the Ocean ABC of Paddling course and you practice until you get it.

You sign up per set of four classes which don't need to be consecutive; you can come when it suits you. There is one proviso though; you have to do your 4 classes within six weeks of signing up as an Ocean Paddler. Once you got the hang of things, you move along...again.

The Ocean Pro (The Ocean Pro - Beating your best...)

Personal, specific and goal orientated.
The The Ocean Pro program is there for you to make that breakthrough. Here you will take that first step to beating your best, and beating it well. You might even take out some arch rivals in the process.

You come for an Assessment session where we will do a specific assessment of your fitness, skills and ability. We will discuss your goals (and create some if you don't have any) and then, based on your assessment, plan the program which will get you there. We then schedule follow-up sessions and your journey begins.
