Unlock Your Next Level: Hawkes Bay Workshops 21–22 Feb – Limited Spots

After a huge start to the year and so many paddlers pushing for the next level, I’m excited to share that I’ll be heading back to Hawkes Bay on 21–22 February.

The Napier community asked me to return after last year’s workshops, and it was an easy yes — the energy, commitment, and hunger to grow were incredible.

Across the two days at Pandora, Napier, I’ll be running a series of focused workshops designed to lift technique, confidence, and on‑water performance.

These include:
• Boost Your Paddling one‑day workshop
• Steering workshops
• V1 workshops
• Functional movement workshops built specifically for paddlers

These sessions are open to all paddlers, whether you’re building foundations or sharpening for the next level. If you’re ready to refine your technique, understand your body better, and get more out of every stroke, this is your chance.

Spots are limited, so book now to secure your place!
