Surfing Australia

The new Stand Up Paddleboard Specialist Coaching module is designed to be utilised as an extension of the current Level 1 & Level 2 Surf Coaching Courses, up skilling accredited coaches by demonstrating the competencies required to effectively teach the beginner skills of Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP).  

Within the module candidates have the option of completing an enclosed flat water accreditation or a beginner surf SUP accreditation, so they have the flexibility to operate in either environment depending on their circumstances.

To obtain this award an individual must adhere to the following accreditation requirements:
1. Attend a SUP Specialist Course
2. Complete your practical coaching hours, this includes session records signed off by a supervisor coach covering:
a. 5hrs of enclosed flat water coaching (for enclosed flat water accreditation only)
b. An additional 5hrs of beginner SUP surf coaching (for SUP surf coach accreditation)
3. Hold a current Surfing Australia Surf Coaching Accreditation (or Surfing Australia approved equivalent)
4. Complete SUP Specialist Module Workbook and return to State Branch with payment

On completion of these requirements your Surfing Australia Surf Coaching accreditation will be endorsed for either enclosed flat water or SUP surf on the SA database and a new coaching card will be issued.

The next Stand Up Paddleboard Specialist Coaching Course will be held at the Surfing Victoria's Operation centre: 4 Sunset Strip Jan Juc
