Paddle Canada Advanced Skills and Basic Stand Up Paddleboard Instructor Course

This is a three-day course that begins with solidifying your Stand Up Paddleboard skills by teaching you the Paddle Canada Basic skills in the morning and then Advanced Stand Up Paddleboard skills in the afternoon of the first day. These courses will most likely be a review for you but will refresh your skills and also give you the two required skills certificates in order to work on your instructor’s level. This skills day will hone your personal skills before refining the methods to teach them.

On the second and third days of this program, you will work on the skills required to teach SUP. Your instructor trainers will go through learning styles and have your practice teach different elements of the course.

Becoming a Paddle Canada Basic Stand Up Paddleboard instructor allows you to teach Paddle Canada insured and certified stand up paddleboard courses anywhere in Canada.

Our Basic SUP instructor training program takes place at Ontario Sea Kayak Centre with accommodation included onsite.

We can also set-up private courses for groups if you can’t make these dates, please contact us to chat about it.
