Come join Austin Kieffer in the 2019 L2L Surfski clinic. Austin will spend a full hour breaking down everything he has learned about the sport of Surfski over the past 7 years. Austin will cover equipment choices and setup, basic flatwater technique, rough water technique, downwind strategies and secrets, warm-up, how to design a workout, building a training program, tapering, race strategy, and race execution. After the talk (and peppered throughout the different sections), Austin will do his best to answer any questions you might have about your own surfski journey and how to get the most out of your paddling!
