How to Become a SUP Instructor in Vassiliki Greece – BSUPA

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is the fastest growing watersport in the world. Its easy, fun and accessible for all the family. This means there is now an increased demand for paddleboard (SUP) instructors.

Watersports Nomad in Vassiliki have added the BSUPA Instructors certificate to three of their instructor courses. The RYA Windsurf and SUP instructors course, The Beginner to Intermediate Windsurf Instructor Course and The Ultimate Watersports Instructor Course. These courses have everything required to get you started working in the watersports industry as a Windsurf, Sailing and SUP instructor.

Who is the British Stand Up Paddle Association (BSUPA) ?

BSUPA Provides the accredited BSUPA coaching scheme, accredited BSUPA schools and hire centres and promoting good practice.

What Does a BSUPA Level 1 ready to Ride SUP Instructor do?

Once qualified and working at a registered centre a SUP Instructor can be in charge of Six students using a total of Six boards. That instructor will be responsible for the safety enjoyment and development if their students.

BSUPA Level 1 Instructors Certificate will be valid for 3 years from the course date provided the candidate has a valid first aid certificate, RYA Powerboat qualification and BSUPA membership.

Why have Watersports Nomad combined SUP Instructor training with RYA Windsurf Instructor Training?

Watersports Nomad is now an official BSUPA recognised school (the only one in Greece!) and with SUP still the fastest growing watersport, there is a high demand for SUP instructors. The mornings in Greece are stunning with glassy flat water. Making dream SUP conditions and the best way to enjoy the ocean at that time of day.

Many of the holiday companies are asking prospective staff to be qualified in two sports so Windsurfing and SUP work well together. SUP when there is no wind and windsurf when the breeze kicks in!

I whole heartedly recommend the windsurf instructor course and absolutely loved my time in Vasiliki. The instructors were really focused on getting our windsurfing up to scratch. I not only went from quite a beginner windsurfer to intermediate going advanced, i also gained my power boat qualification which opened up a whole new world of opportunity. We were definitely taught by the best ! Vass is a social hub full of talented people who all have similar interests and are always keen to help each other. we all gained new life long friends and useful connections in the industry. On the couse, you get 1 day off a week in which we would explore the beautiful island and all its gorgeous sights. 6 weeks of my life that i shall never forget and cherish always!

Had an incredible time on the fast track windsurfing course! I had so much fun on and off the water. The instructors were great with helping me improve both my windsurfing and teaching skills, and the dinners and themed nights out were so fun and I met some great people! Would recommend this beautiful place!

Probably the best summer of my life!! Coaches are lovely and scenery is beautiful. I did the fast track windsurfing instructor course as well as work experience after. Not only did my windsurfing improve, but also my confidence in speaking amongst strangers and various other soft skills. 10/10 would recommend :))

A great holistic program for watersports instructor training and experiencing Greece - with everything provided from fancy group dinners, nights out, theme parties, and early morning fitness, you get to see everything from sunrise to sunset! In terms of watersports, you have 24/7 access to the kit and so can advance in the sport quickly and easily become the best instructor you can be! They will also set you up with work experience after your training so that you can dive head first into the industry - just an example of how helpful they are throughout the whole course.
