Norm is an amazing teacher, he’s very passionate about the sport and it shows. He makes sure that you are aware of everything, even aspects I didn’t even imagine before. Life changing experience for sure. 10/10 would recommend
What an unbelievable course! Norm has such a passion for the sport and it comes across in his amazing teaching ability. Whether you’re looking to just hone your skills or just looking to learn how to better convey your message to beginners, Norms courses are the way to go.
A true mentor and leader, Norm leaves his mark on all his students, paddling colleagues, and friends from East-to-West and North-to-South. An accomplished waterman, educator, and general all-round great guy, any time spent with Norm on-or-off the water is time well spent!
This is much more than just a SUP Instructor Course. Their passion for the sport will stoke your own, pushing you to become a better paddler and sport ambassador. They teach you to respect the process, nature & people. I was taught simple & efficient teaching concepts that I feel confident I can apply even with minimal teaching experience. They take the business of paddle boarding seriously and it shows in the quality of instruction they provide.
