Learn to be a Better OC1 Downwind Paddler

Downwind paddling requires more than just fitness– it requires specific surfing skills. During this workshop, Coach Anna will teach you these surfing skills and work with you as you practice them on flat water. You’ll progress to downwind runs* with Coach Anna, so you can practice, refine, and reinforce what you’ve learned. 

After completing this workshop, you’ll be more prepared and effective when the wind and waves are in your favor. You’ll feel more balanced and comfortable catching waves, linking them together more smoothly, which will improve your speed and how much you enjoy paddling your OC1.

The OC1 Downwind Primer intermediate workshop could be for you if you…

  • Keep up with others on flat water, but as soon as waves come along you fall behind because you have trouble catching bumps. 
  • Feel unstable and lean left on your ama to stay upright.
  • Haven’t been able to figure out what you need to do to become a downwind paddler. 
  • Want your downwind paddling to reflect your OC1 fitness.

  • Are you able to recover from a huli in rough water and waves?
