It is no coincidence that some of the best paddlers in France come from Finistere, when the conditions are on, they are on! We have a range of conditions that can suit you from early beginners, to firm intermediates. What ever you want it is here! The weekend is divided into sections to allow you to get the best from the coach, and from your weekend. 

Starting on Friday afternoon, Saturday, Sunday and finishing on Monday, this is a complete weekend of surfski paddling!

We will put into place a selection of workshops and you will chose what you want to do. From technique training, downwinding and distance sessions. The idea is to bring back surfski paddlers to paddle together, make friends and grow our sport!

For the price of the weekend you will have a change to paddle in a festival atmosphere.

The price includes 1 technique workshop, strength and conditoning session, 1 BBQ, a downwind paddle with logisitics included adapted to your ability.

The weekend will start with a time trial so we can put you into the perfect group for your paddle level. This is so you can get the most out of the weekend!

Each session is over 2 hours long which makes it worth the rate! 

We will put into place 2/3 instructors that will be able to provide coaching at either Beginner, Intermediate, Upper intermediate level.

Once you have registered you will be sent a link so that you can request a time slot with your chosen coach or theme. Have a look at the choices below to see what sessions you would be interested in doing!

We will also arrange downwind / paddle groups based on your ability. Along with knowledge of where the best places are to paddle!
