Important! This is an advanced course that requires experience and intermediate skills to participate in. You can sign up for this lesson after you take the SUP 2: Intermediate Lesson and have approval from Paddlestroke SUP instructors.
Great Instructor! Greg takes great care in maintaining safety on the water. I took all three of his courses. Prior to the three courses I had zero paddleboard experience. Greg now has me introduced to safely navigating the Rapids. I recommend his program.
I can't say enough about the care and expertise of Greg Miller and Paddlestroke! I'd never been on my SUP on a river and Greg showed me everything I needed to go from complete newbie to dude who can surf the waves on the Potomac. Highly recommended, and not just for people with experience. I watched him take good care of people who were just beginning. You won't regret giving this a try!
