ACA SUP Certification Workshop Portland, ME

Portland Maine is a wonderful paddling destination. This year I once again ran a Level 1-2 American Canoe Association SUP Instructor Certification Workshop in Portland. Nine instructor candidates, myself and an assistant spent June 8-10 on Portland's East End completely geeking out on standup paddleboarding.

ACA SUP ICW @ Portland, Maine

This group was no different and I've already spent time paddling with some of them. We had a pretty intense session over three full days with some very skilled and knowledgeable personalities. Group learning at its best!
