The Report: Annalee and I went out to prepare for the upcoming ACA Whitewater SUP Instructor Certification Course. We took the NRS Baron 6 Inflatable SUP, always a fun craft, down the day float on the Sandy river. With plenty of class I-II eddy's, the Sandy creates a fun training course for learning and practicing eddy turns and peel outs on a SUP.

We've taken our show to other rivers such as the Upper Clackamas and the Deschutes but nothing beats the sandy for proximity and ease of access. With such a great resource in our backyard expect to see us out there teaching classes in no time. SYOTR
