Professional Stand Up Paddle Association Flat Water Level 1 Instructor Certification Course
This class provides a detailed approach to teaching the basics of SUP technique and safe practice without losing site of why we are all here - to have FUN on the water! We use a “hands on – minds on” teaching approach and encourage participation from our candidates by creating a comfortable environment, open to growth and learning.
Be ready to:
- Present mini-lessons on assigned topics.
- Receive feedback on the materials presented.
- Be flexible
- Be prepared – inclement weather does not cancel class. If conditions are consistent with the level of the course being taught or there is a good teaching moment, we go.
Participation in this course does not guarantee certification. Candidates will have to pass a written test upon completion of this course.
Candidates should have a current Professional Stand Up Paddleboard Association membership, First Aid/CPR/AED certification and know basic SUP paddling techniques, and have basic knowledge of SUP gear and safety.
The course is limited to 6 candidates.
