Surfski is fast. Extremely fast. Whether you come from flatwater kayaking, traditional sea kayaking, other disciplines or just starting out, you'll fell in love with surfski immediately. Designed to be the racing cars of the sea, it is built to catch waves the most efficient way possible. Try it out in a single session or sign up directly for our 3-day course, with opportunity to continue training with an instructor afterwards.
While you can just as well enjoy a relaxed paddling session at calm seas, session of downwind paddling in waves is what it is really about!
Surfski kayaks are extremely lightweight compared to touring kayaks. They are basically sprint kayaks with pedals, just more stable with better floatability.
There is no way you can get injured: surfski gives you a full-body workout and good cardio, but it is not an impact sport, and not accident-prone.
Official category under the Spanish Federation, with major national and international championships anywhere from 100 to 1,000 participants per race.

We adjust the program & surfski model used based on the paddler's needs (beginner, some experience, switching over from other forms of kayaking). The most important is to get used to the boat first: feel comfortable & confident in it! Navigating in wave conditions will also depend on the individual paddler's initial stability in the boat, could be on day one or several sessions later.
