Ready to paddle farther, faster, and with greater efficiency?

Join Ocean Academy for an exclusive 2-hour immersive clinic with 8-time World Champion Candice Appleby as she breaks down the mechanics of an efficient paddle stroke and teaches you how to maximize every stroke on the water. This signature clinic is designed to help paddlers develop better technique, improve board speed, and create a stronger connection with their board’s natural glide.

This clinic combines technical instruction with practical on-water drills to help you better understand how your body, paddle, and board work together. You’ll learn to maximize every stroke, generate more speed, improve efficiency, and develop a smoother, more connected stroke while learning to recognize and maintain your board’s natural glide.
