The 4th and 5th day are optional and will cover more advanced coaching:
Day 4: Surf Coaching and advanced technique coaching.
Day 5: Downwind coaching, gym strength/ balance training, stretching, video coaching etc.
On each of these days we will also hold group SUP lessons from 12 noon to 2 pm that instructor training participants are welcome to observe and get hands on experience teaching SUP to beginners. (attendance is encouraged but not required).
Locations: we will hold most classes on the beach at Ala Moana Beach park but may also do some training at Blue Planet Surf Shop (going over gear knowledge), as well as Island Club and Spa (gym training) and at their conference room (classroom training) and media room (video coaching).
All gear will be provided, participants are welcome to bring their own paddle and/or board if they prefer.
PSUPA requires an additional annual membership fee of $65 to be registered as a certified instructor with them, which includes being listing on their website. Instructors are also expected to be First Aid/CPR certified.
Course will be lead by Instructor Trainer Robert Stehlik with help from assistant coaches Jenn Lee, Jeff Chang, and possibly other guest coaches.
Participants are expected to already have solid paddling skills as our focus is on teaching skills to others, not training the participants.
