This June, Pattana Sports Resort is launching our newest sport to the growing list of exciting activities you can try.
Surfskis are unique as it is the fastest paddlecraft on the water. If you have been searching for a great low impact workout that uses all the major muscle groups or a way to get out on the water to enjoy the incredible scenery the world has to offer, surfski paddling is a fantastic option. Surfskis can be used for either racing or touring.
In this free offer Coach Iewan will go through a full class teaching you all the basics such as getting the surfski into the water, getting in the craft and the forward stroke. In addition he will cover safety; how to remount your surfski in the event of a capsize; what clothing to wear for the conditions we experience here in Thailand; how to tour using a surfski and places to go; training tips and how to prepare for your first race.
