Any activity that involves open water conditions is inherently dangerous. Our instruction is based on sound fundamentals with an overall emphasis on the “Safety” for the beginner paddler. The “ASI” SUP Water-Safety Instruction Manual and Practical Teaching Techniques will lay the foundation for the Certified “ASI” Instructor to provide the best learning conditions for all beginner SUP paddlers. Each ASI participant will also receive a personal copy of the “The Ultimate Guide to Stand Up Paddling” video, by Dan Gavere.
