Cold Hawaii Sea Kayak Surf Camp in Denmark

Brief out lines of the evnet

This sea kayak surf course is 2,5 days starting with a meet and greet on Thursday evening followed by practical days on water with head to head coaching Friday and Saturday. Sunday we practice before lunch as a self-coaching day with feedback from the instructors.

Main goals are confidence and technical skills in the surf always having the safety of the group as a key principle and each individual in the center of their own experience. The progress of the coaching is self- exploration with direct and in-direct coaching letting the paddler get the understanding and feeling of their own development. We always work in pairs for  practical and safety reasons also letting each pair push and encourage each other through the progression.

We're well. known for how we build confidence in each paddler with our progression and practical exercises on the water.

Location

We work primarily from the main beach in the little town of Løkken in north west Denmark. This is one of the “upcoming” surf locations in Denmark and normally this location has really good conditions for developing surf at all skill levels. One of the awesome things with this location is that we can drive all the way down on the beach for unloading and loading kayaks as well as having lunch breaks on the spot. The town of Løkken has all luxury you need with small cafes, restaurants. The village also offer different kind of accommodation such as cottages, hostels, hotels or holiday parks.

Løkken is situated only 50 minutes from the ferry terminals in Fredrikshavn or Hirtsals. Løkken is also about a 4 hours drive from the international airport Kastrup outside Copenhagen.​
