Viking Profish Coaching Mastery – 1-on-1 Kayak Fishing

1-on-1 kayak fishing coaching

...Included with Every Viking Profish Kayak

When you purchase a Viking Profish 400, Profish Reload or Profish GT, you’re not just buying a fishing kayak.

You’re unlocking real-world experience, personalised mentoring, and local kayak fishing knowledge — delivered through an exclusive 1-on-1 Kayak Fishing Coaching on the Sunshine Coast with Jason Milne, also known as Paddle Guy.

This initiative starts immediately.
Full logistical details will be communicated shortly — but the opportunity is already live.

🧭 A Truly Personalised Kayak Fishing Experience

This is not a generic group course.

This is a dedicated 1-on-1 Kayak Fishing Coaching, tailored around:

  • your Viking Profish kayak

  • your fishing experience level

  • your target species

  • the season and local conditions

  • inshore or offshore fishing goals

Sessions are currently delivered as a dedicated 1-on-1 coaching experience, allowing the session to adapt in real time to your goals, conditions and fishing style.

The structure and depth of each session are driven by the outcome you want to achieve, rather than a fixed timeframe.

❓FAQs

Is this offer available through all retailers in Australia?

No. This is an exclusive Kayak and SUP initiative, delivered in collaboration with Viking Kayaks.

The one-on-one session with Paddle Guy is available only through Kayak and SUP and is not offered by other retailers.

Is this lesson available immediately?
Yes. This initiative starts now. Final scheduling and logistical details will be confirmed after purchase.
How long is the 1-on-1 session?

Sessions are outcome-driven rather than time-based.

Each 1-on-1 coaching experience is tailored around your goals, conditions and fishing style, adapting in real time to what you want to achieve.

This private format is currently offered for a limited time.

Is offshore kayak fishing dangerous?

Offshore kayak fishing does not automatically mean extreme conditions or chasing big pelagic species.

With the right training, planning and decision-making, offshore sessions can include nearshore fishing, reef fishing or bottom fishing close to the coast, always adapted to conditions and experience level.

Safety, awareness and conservative decision-making are a core part of the coaching experience.

Do I need to start in rivers or bays before going offshore?

Not necessarily.

Progression depends on the individual, conditions and the type of fishing you want to pursue — not on a fixed pathway.

Some anglers prefer to build confidence in sheltered waters first, while others are guided safely into nearshore offshore environments from the beginning, with appropriate coaching.

Does offshore fishing always mean game fishing or chasing big fish?

No.

Offshore kayak fishing can be as close and conservative as you want it to be. It may simply involve fishing near the coastline or targeting reef and bottom species, depending on conditions and your experience level.

Your target species and technique are planned around season, safety and realistic local conditions.

Which kayak models are included in this promotion?
The promotion applies to the Viking Profish range, including the Profish 400, Profish Reload and Profish GT.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. Sessions are fully adapted to your experience level, whether you’re new to kayak fishing or looking to refine advanced techniques.
Is spearfishing included in the training?
Yes. Spearfishing can be included as part of the session, depending on conditions, experience level and local regulations.
Is bay and estuary fishing included in the coaching?

Yes, absolutely.

Bay, estuary and inshore environments are a key part of kayak fishing on the Sunshine Coast and can be fully incorporated into your coaching session.

The session is always tailored to where and how you actually plan to fish.

I’m not sure which kayak is right for me. What should I do?

No problem at all. Simply complete our kayak questionnaire here: https://kayakandsup.com.au/how-to-choose-a-kayak/

Daniele will personally review your answers and provide tailored recommendations based on your experience, goals and local Sunshine Coast conditions.

Can I book this lesson if I’m not buying a Viking Profish kayak?

Yes. The 1-on-1 kayak fishing lesson is available as a stand-alone package for AUD $599.

For a limited time, the session is included at no extra cost when you purchase a Viking Profish kayak.

I want to target tuna and Spanish mackerel offshore. Is specialised training available?
Yes. Offshore targeting of species such as tuna and Spanish mackerel can be covered, conditions permitting. Training is adapted to season, safety requirements and weather windows.
What if I only want to focus on snapper fishing?
That’s perfectly fine. The session can be fully dedicated to snapper fishing, including location strategy, rigs, lures and local techniques.
I’m mainly interested in inshore fishing — rivers and estuaries for flathead. Is that possible?
Yes, absolutely. Inshore fishing for species such as flathead in rivers and estuaries is very common and fully supported during these sessions.
Is there any limitation on the type of fishing I can choose?
Just tell us the type of fishing you’re interested in. As long as it’s feasible within the Sunshine Coast region, there shouldn’t be any issues. If your preferred target or location is outside our usual operating area, we’ll discuss it with you first and assess what’s possible.
Am I required to use the recommended fishing gear and tackle?

No. You are free to use your existing fishing gear and tackle if you wish.

During the session, you’ll receive clear recommendations based on what we personally use and what works best for your fishing style and target species.

The goal is to help you make informed decisions — not to lock you into specific products.

What if I change my focus or goals during the session?

That’s completely fine.

Sessions are designed to adapt in real time to conditions, progression and personal preference. The focus can evolve naturally throughout the experience.

Will this always remain a one-on-one experience?
For now, yes. As demand grows, this initiative may evolve into small group (one-on-many) sessions. If you value personalised attention, now is the best time to take advantage of the 1-on-1 format.
