Pre-Season Board & Ski Training

Young New Brighton SLSC athletes have been putting in the hard yards!

They've been on surf ski since August and on board since September. Thanks to the coaches - Douglas McIntyre, Matthew Nash, Cameron Penrose, and Kirsty Cullen.

There has been a massive improvement in skills especially from those who have been turning up regularly. 

It's not too late to start training for the season. At the moment we are running the following two sessions every week: 

  • Thursday Board Training at Naval Point - Be there by 5:30pm, and in the water at 5:45pm. 
  • Sunday Ski Session at Naval Point - Be there by 2:15pm to be on the water at 2:30pm. 

Communication regarding board and ski training is done through the Heja App. This can be downloaded from the usual places. The joining code is BJ743591. 

It is really important that you RSVP using the app - this helps us to ensure that we have the right number of coaches and gear available. For the Ski sessions - a failure to RSVP might mean that you miss out on the session as we can only store a limited number of Surf Skis at Naval Point. 

We will be increasing the number of sessions per week and moving training to the beach in the next couple of weeks. This will be advised through the Heja App and on the internal Facebook pages.
