    I've only had my SUP for 1 season so far. I've been out on the water a few times. Drew is a very patient and detailed instructor. You can tell he loves what he does. This is a great class for anyone who wants to be more familiar with SUP and gain knowledge about water safety ... A fantastic beginners class which everyone should take, especially for those who want to paddle further from the shore.
