The Varsity College Surfskischool's latest and most exciting course, this one is for intermediate to experienced paddlers only. At this stage this course is available in Cape Town only.

The Miller's Run is the world's best downwind run. It is easily accessible, relatively safe (relative being the operative word) and is the most consistent downwind run in the world. It is fast paced and exhilirating and it can get absolutely massive. During the summer this run works 6 out of 7 days sometimes running for 21 days consecutively. During December and January it is huge most of the time. Back to the safety aspect - no open ocean downwind run is safe; but in a Miller's Run you are never more than 3kms offshore and will always eventually wash ashore if something goes amiss. Bear in mind...if you seek safety; stay ashore!

The course consists of 3 sessions:

First session: a one-on-one session theory and practical in Fish Hoek bay working specifically on catching runs
Second session: a Miller's Run in a double ski with a legend, experienced downwind paddler
Third session: a supervised Miller's run on your own in a single ski
