Lake Rocks Paddle Festival

Lake Rocks Paddle Festival Clinics – 14th – 17th May 

I’m looking forward to running two BOOTH Training clinics at the Lake Rocks Paddle Festival, with a strong focus on helping paddlers head into race weekend better prepared, more confident, and ready to perform.

These sessions are designed to give you real value on the water. Not just a paddle, but quality coaching, clear feedback, race insight, and practical skills you can take straight into the weekend. Across both clinics, I’ll be sharing the key things I’ve learned from years of racing and coaching at the highest level, with the goal of helping you become a more efficient, more skilled, and more complete paddler.

Whether you are racing all weekend or just looking to improve, these clinics are a great chance to sharpen up, ask questions, and learn the details that make a real difference.

Thursday Evening Skills and Sprint Workshop

14th May 5:30pm to 7:30pm

This session will focus more on race execution, speed, and the skills that matter when the pressure comes on.

We’ll cover starts, sprinting, board control, movement around the board, and race specific skills that help separate good paddlers from great racers. There will be a big focus on applying these skills to the weekend conditions and courses, so you leave the session feeling sharp, switched on, and ready to race.

This is a great one for anyone wanting to fine tune the details before the weekend gets underway.

Friday Morning Technique Workshop

15th May 7:30am to 9:30am

This two hour session is all about paddling technique and the foundations that help you move better through the water.

We’ll work through stroke efficiency, body position, board trim, timing, and the small technical details that can make a big difference to your paddling. My aim with this session is to help you better understand your stroke, tidy up the key areas that matter most, and give you feedback you can actually use.

We’ll also touch on the race courses for the weekend so you can start building a clearer picture of what to expect and how to approach it.

Who It’s For

Paddlers wanting to improve technique

Racers looking to sharpen skills before the weekend

Intermediate and advanced paddlers

Anyone wanting quality coaching and race insight in a high level group setting

Why Join

I’ve always believed the small things matter. Better technique, better decisions, better execution, and a better understanding of what the race will demand from you.

These clinics are about helping you improve in a practical way. You’ll get direct coaching, honest feedback, and insights that come from years of experience racing and coaching at the top end of the sport. My goal is simple, to help you get more out of yourself and your paddling.

If you want to feel more prepared heading into the Lake Rocks Paddle Festival, these sessions will give you a great opportunity to sharpen up and make the most of the weekend.
