Rock hopping is pure coastal fun — but it’s also a masterclass in timing, placement, and reading the sea. In this program, we’ll explore how to move with the rhythm of the waves, not against them. You’ll develop the finesse to choose the right wave, commit to your line, and place your kayak exactly where it needs to be.
We’ll work on linking dynamic maneuvers together — weaving through channels, boofing over surge, and surfing through tight spaces — all with an emphasis on control, precision, and flow. It’s about finding that perfect balance between playfulness and awareness, where skill meets instinct and every decision is shaped by the movement of the ocean.
If you love being close to the rocks and want to turn chaotic water into your playground, this is the program for you.
