Intermediate Skills Session - Altona Beach

 

*****POSTPONED DUE UNSUITABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS*****

Thanks to Hobsons Bay Council - Make it Happen Grants program we have scheduled another Intermediate skills session with Sharon Bourke (Supfit Sharon) before the winter really sets in.   This session has been planned for Altona Beach next to the Lifesaving club on Sunday 21st May but as always subject to change due to weather and water conditions.  There is limited free parking within the area so please allow plenty of time to park and set up your boards and be ready to start at 8.30am sharp.

This session is more for participants that have had reasonable and consistent time on the water over the past year / are capable of the 4 basic strokes / are comfortable and confident with falling off and getting back on the board without assistance / progressing skills to confidently paddle in stronger conditions / increasing endurance.

Skills covered subject to conditions on the day may include:

Kick turns

Breaking down the different phases of a stroke

Tracking a board effectively and efficiently

Safety techniques in stronger conditions

Techniques to catch bumps and gaining control of balance

*             Pack a spare change of clothes

*             Clothing to wear on the water ideally will not hold loads of water when wet, lycra, nylon,

      If you have a wetsuit, it is highly recommended to wear as the water temperature is starting to          drop

*             Leg ropes (are a mandatory item)           

*             And most importantly – be prepared to have heaps of fun on the day and receive                 expert  tuition from Sharon Bourke  (Supfit Sharon)

We will be taking photos on the day that will be posted to our Sup Melbourne FB page and Sharon Bourke’s Insta page, please if you prefer to not be included in the photos let one of our helpers know.
