Waveskiing


Waveskiing is a combination of kayaking and surfing.  Waveskiers sit on a board and paddle out through the waves. They then ride the surf back to the beach.   To keep students safe they all wear some form of personal buoyancy and a helmet. Each session starts with a safety talk

Waveskiers first learn to paddle and turn their boards.  They also learn how to get back onto their boards from the water.  They will often play a few games to help cement the new skills they are learning  On calm days it is possible to paddle out to the South Reef

Once paddlers can control their boards they can experience the exhilaration of catching a wave and surfing into the beach.
