Master Training (SUP)

About The Program

As a PIF Master Trainer you will be able to run your own Paddle Into Fitness teacher trainings (SUP & WPA Level 1) through your company using our certification materials. You could also be selected to join the PIF traveling certification team and lead teacher trainings internationally!

The training will certify you as a WPA Level 2 Instructor ($300 value), which will allow you to certify students in WPA Level 1. There will be a SUP skills and water safety test before completion. If you are interested in the training, we are looking for students who have:

• At least two years of teaching experience

• Can successfully perform a cross bow & pivot turn

• Can demonstrate advanced stroke technique

• Can complete 1 mile on SUP in under 18 minutes (all around board) or 16 minutes (race board), swim 25 yards in under 30 seconds, and perform a board flip rescue.

• Have all certifications up to date (First Aid, CPR, AED, Lifeguard)

• Have the Paddle Into Fitness signature classes (Beginner Lesson) memorized before the training.

• This training is limited to students who have gone through the PIF certification program, and you can only become a Master Trainer in the certifications you have taken. There will be a small licensing fee per student certified using PIF materials.

You will be listed on our website’s Instructor Directory with a full profile and bio on a personal webpage with links to your website. Your business will be listed on our map with zip code search option, enabling online searchers to find you as a Master Trainer location for skills testing. You also have the ability to use signature class names, descriptions and graphics on your website.

“The training had a very surf culture California feel which I appreciated, and they taught to US, not just regurgitated verbatim from their manual. The manual was VERY thorough, and I see myself using it for other yoga related needs as well. Great photos and descriptions, as well as detailed class sequencing are very helpful just to glance at before I go out for inspiration. The information was cutting edge, relevant, and nothing like what anyone’s seen up here (Michigan) before. I have been paddleboarding for two years, and I feel like my paddling has improved ten fold this summer after the training. The techniques taught to us continue to to deliver for my students. I feel the techniques were also laid out to us in a paddle talk that is succinct and informative, which is important when offering new information to folks. Well that’s about it, sorry, I don’t think I have any negative feedback! Keep up the good work!”
