• This course includes an introductory lecture (plus) instruction on paddling form, quick turn practice, how to paddle for speed, explanations of sea conditions, wind conditions, and slope conditions. It also covers various curriculum topics such as self-rescue (risk management and escape methods for SUP), all within a generous 2.5-hour session. With breaks in between, this course allows you to acquire fundamental knowledge and skills. Of course, you can start with this course, rather than our 120-minute course, for your first SUP challenge. This course is recommended for those who want to rent SUP equipment overseas or at other resorts. It's also recommended for those who want to improve their SUP skills. After completing the course, you'll be able to confidently enjoy SUP on your own.
• A full-fledged SUP school taught by KAZBO, a SUP pioneer from Amami Oshima who has trained a junior world champion in SUP surfing.
• This is more than just a hands-on experience; you'll learn the fundamentals, including the names of your gear, during a beach lecture. Once out on the water, you'll learn paddling techniques using three different paddle positions, turns and tricks in each position, and even speed-generating paddling methods for standing paddles (such as the paddle streak used in racing). You'll spend nearly two hours thoroughly learning paddling techniques. Self-rescue techniques will also be coached.
• You'll gain confidence! You'll be able to paddleboard on your own.
• After completing the course, you'll surely be able to enjoy SUP on your own. Why not explore the depths of SUP, from basic to advanced techniques? Next time, try SUP surfing!
• SUP is not a life preserver; you need to learn proper paddling strokes and techniques.
• The reason SUP accidents are so frequent is a lack of basic knowledge. You need to understand the ocean conditions and wind, and control yourself so you can rescue yourself if you fall. In this course, we will teach you authentic paddling skills that you won't learn anywhere else. Kazbo, who has trained a junior world champion in SUP surfing, proudly presents himself as the best SUP school on the island.
