Limited Places

The workshop is open to anyone who spends time on the water, including stand-up paddleboarders, swimmers, kayakers and rowers. Bring an idea, however early it is, and we’ll work through it together. We’ll look at how to plan your route, manage risk, choose your kit and approach sponsors or build a fundraising campaign if that’s part of your challenge.

Across the two days, you’ll learn from Brendon and the group, put some of the planning into practice on the water and leave with a draft expedition plan and clear next steps.
