WSA workshops are structured one or two day courses, which will allow you to be coached by leaders in their field and develop your own skills and knowledge.
We offer workshops at all our destinations, however some areas do specialise in certain workshops.
So if it’s Downwind, Technique, Surf, White Water or just want to an overall perspective on your paddling or surfing then we are here to help.
WSA can offer one to one workshops or why not get a small group together and make it a more social experience. Our clinics are ideal for centres and clubs.

White Water SUP is fast becoming a go to discipline for the winter and we provide an introduction to this new experience.

Their experience spans the globe from the Scottish Highlands to the gorges and lakes of the Himalayas and coastlines of the Pacific South Islands. They have extensive knowledge of correct equipment, planning and living out of doors on extended water journeys.
