'One thing I get asked all the time by retailers and providers of SUP tuition, is the desire to gain and get the best technical knowledge possible. The two main benefits being it allows you to speak with confidence and authority about the sport and how to do it while satisfying the needs of your customers, in that you know what you are talking about and that have under gone some level of training. To this end internationally renowned Paddle Coach, Steve West, is now offering a fully fledged SUP consultancy service. I would strongly recommend you get Steve along to your shop / school / centre to give you and your staff a days training. Once Steve has finished with you, you will have a new understanding of the sport and the true potential that lies ahead of us!'

Qualify as an ASI SUP Instructor across a variety of levels and specialities with the world's best training organisation.

"Far from being a surf sport, I recognise stand up paddleboarding as a combination of outrigger canoe paddling and surfing, within which there are many diversifications. With over 25 years of outrigger canoeing experience, 2 world titles and as a past world ranked windsurfer and national coaching director for outrigger canoeing in Australia and Fiji, I feel more than confident in my role as appointed ASI trainer and director for the UK. My role is to not only help qualify SUP instructors through the various levels, but also give them a head start over any other industry provider of such courses, in the knowledge that I am also supported by and working with such great luminaries as 10 time world paddleboard champion Jamie Mitchell and others within the ASI - the world's best educators within their field of expertise. Collectively, we do not see this as a mere bolt-on course to surfing or even canoeing, but a sport deserving of serious consideration and study."
