Hi, I am based in Brisbane and moving to Kingscliff in a few months (building a house). I'm just wondering what is the best way to try some surf ski paddling to see if I might like it?
I have a bit of background in swimming and surfing but really pretty unfit being immersed in jobs, kids and mortgages for too long but now past this stage. I have tried SUP a bit, know the challenges and can surf one OK if conditions are perfect. They are enjoyable but I find are not compatible with any sort of wind.
A surf ski looks more versatile and fun as well. I wouldn't mind eventually having a go at an ocean paddle style event from a participation view rather than competitive racing if these style of events exist.
Happy to hear peoples experiences if they have been through a similar beginner stage and how they find the Gold Coast surf ski community as well as best way to get started.
Thanks
