Tomales Bay SUP Instructor Certification Workshop

Tomales Bay is an incredibly beautiful Northern California paddling destination loaded with wildlife on land and in the water. It's a spectacular hiking and paddling destination with a diverse climate and weather conditions. Wind is usually on the menu after 11am and downwinding is one of the best activities on the bay. Jeff Burton paddles Tomales Bay a ton and runs a great paddling blog called

Paddle Standing Up

This week Jeff assisted me on a 3-day Instructor Certification Workshop at

Blue Waters Kayaking

, the leading paddlesports provider on the bay. Collectively, it's the youngest group I've worked with yet and their energy worked wonders helping them progress a ton in a short time and soak up info quickly. We struggled at times with low tides and wind, but that didn't change the amount of fun we had. Each time I run one of these workshops, they seem to get better and better. This one flowed smoothly the entire time in an effective and efficient manner and I feel pretty good about my delivery. Nice paddling in Tomales!
