Waveski World Champion chose GATH

The Queen of Waveski Oceane Lucas

Waveskis also previously known as “Paddle Ski” are a type of surfboard that allows the rider to ‘sit’ on top of the surfboard. Waveski surfing is a dynamic sport combining paddle power with the manoeuvrability and performance of a surfboard. A Waveski resembles a larger volume surfboard, with the addition of a seat, fins, foot straps, and seat belt, enabling the rider to ‘eskimo roll’ if overturned. The waveski rider or waveski surfer uses a double ended paddle for paddling motion while seated in the waveski. To turn the rider uses his weight to lean on the side rails and paddle to pivot or propel the board up the wave.
