Kajak Freestylekurs

Have you always wanted to try kayak freestyle? Or maybe you're stuck with your next trick? Whether it's the first spin in the wave or the last finesse to the McNasty, in our Freestyle Course we'll show you how it's done!

In the course, we develop your technique from where you are right now. Starting with the basics such as controlled surfing and the correct upper body position, through to spins, loops and more complicated tricks. So that you can better visualize your movements, we record them on video and show them to you! Our freestyler Roman will give you accurate tips to help you progress quickly. And one thing is for sure: after this weekend in and off the waves, you won't want to stop playboating!
