All of Our Instructors are Both ASI and ACE Paddle Fit Certified

The World Standup Paddleboard Association (www.wsupa.us) is the international umbrella organization which standardizes SUP events worldwide.  The Association offers an "ASI SUP Instructor Course" where the instructor must demonstrate mastery in the following areas in order to graduate:

  • Basic water safety knowledge for SUP paddlers
  • SUP dry land teaching and training techniques
  • Information on paddles, boards and SUP equipment
  • Mastering SUP skills needed for proper instruction, on the water skills testing
  • Advanced stroke technique and skills


The Paddle Fit Certification is recognized by (ACE) American Council on Exercise and is a program where the instructor learns how to use SUP for group excerise classes as well as instruction for personal training. 

Paddle Zen fitness instructors have received both certifications and are looking forward to spreading the joy of SUP to you and your family.
