Bournemouth have found a fitting way of getting their players together during their pre-season trip to Marbella, sending the squad out to sea on kayaks.
Pre-season excursions often see clubs trying to take players out of their natural environments of golf courses and games rooms. For their bonding exercise Bournemouth have played up to their seasiders tag with a kayaking day.
The Cherries players were divided up into eight mini-teams of four and took part in relay races on the Alboran Sea, with forfeits for the losers.
Sent out in groups of two, stars such as Jermain Defoe, Nathan Ake and Joshua King had to race to a marked point out in the water and back again before handing over the second half of their four-man teams.
