Ocean Academy SUP Training Club

Back for Summer 2026 - Our 5th Year of Coaching with Candice Appleby

The 2026 SUP race season is upon us — are you ready?

Ocean Academy’s SUP Training Club will get you race-ready with focused training sessions designed to sharpen your race strategy, open-water technique, course management, and confidence on the water.

Whether you’re aiming to crush the Ontario SUP Series, SUP Nation races, Chattajack, ICF Worlds, take on your first race ever, or simply improve your paddling fitness, this club will give you the tools, skills, and training community to succeed.

What You’ll Learn

This is not your typical “clinic” — it’s training with purpose. Each session will highlight a specific topic while integrating interval-style training to build fitness and experience. Topics include:

Open water paddling techniques
Race starts & finishes
Drafting & pacing strategies
Course management for the various race formats
Reading conditions: swells, currents, tides & wind

Beyond the Group Sessions

In addition to our in-person group training sessions, you’ll receive a comprehensive supplemental training program with paddle, strength, core, and cardio workouts. These periodized workouts are designed around the local race schedule to help you peak on race day — and can be done on your own or with fellow club members.
