SUPWA Presents The Michael Booth Paddling Clinic - as part of the SUPer Clinic Series   Michael Booth is a stand up paddler from the east coast of Australia with a background in many sports. After competing at an elite level in Surf Life Saving, Kayaking and Ocean Ski in 2016 he has turned his major focus to sup. With an extensive knowledge in paddlesports and an ability to adapt his skills he has successfully burst onto the SUP scene in 2016. In doing so this year he has won events in Australia including 12 Towers, Forster Island Paddle, Noosa Surfing Festival, Qld SUP titles and overseas Lost Mills - Germany, Sainte Maxime - France, the SUP CUP - Croatia, Battle of the Bay - San Fransisco, The Chigaski SUP Cup - Japan & The Kalamalka Classic - Canada.    With Michaels extensive knowledge in paddling in many different sports he is offering to teach his secrets and help you become a better paddler. His goal is to help you to become a more efficient and effective paddler which will ultimately help you have more fun!    This is an opportunity to learn from the 2016 World Champion from the Pacific Paddle Games. Spots are limited for the 1.5 hour clinic so book early to avoid disappointment.    Michael is a Starboard Team rider and the full 2018 Race board range will be on hand to try out during the clinic.
