ACA SUP ICW - Cape Cod

I returned to Cape Cod this year to train SUP Instructors for Mike at Rideaway Adventures.  Rideaway is a awesome paddle sports outfitter in the Cape with multiple locations, serving paddlers and bikers with classes, tours and rentals. 

It was a fun course, as usual.  I felt a bit off, but it's early season and to be expected.  Luckily I was joined by Adam of Go Paddleboard CT.  Adam is a past student and a highly skilled teacher and paddler.   He's a teacher by trade and has a knack for helping people understand things easily.  I hope to work with him again soon.

We spent three full days on Peter's Pond in Sandwich, going over a huge range of paddling strokes & skills, working on leadership and practicing teaching skills.  The candidates were fairly spread in terms of experience and skill level coming into the course.  All improved a vast amount during the course, which makes me so happy to see. 

After hours we spent a little time visiting local pubs & eateries and I even got in a quick visit with my parents, who happened to be visiting the Cape that weekend.
