We took a SUP lesson with Jaecey and it was wonderful!!!There were 3 of us_myself, my husband and our 9 year old daughter. Jaecey was calm , patient and encouraging. She gave us lots of great tips and suggestions for safety. It was a windy day , so not the easiest, but Jaecey made it fun. My daughter especially had a ball. Jaecey is such a strong and accomplishe paddleboarder( training for some big races at that time)that I think she is such a great role model for girls.

I couldn’t have been more pleased with Jaecey as a downwind SUP instructor. I had years of experience with SUP surfing on Maui but had only a two, shorter downwinders under my belt. I thought I knew the basics but really had just learned as I went.  The difference between that and learning from Jaecey is that she brings years of experience downwinding, several professional certifications, and a passion toward formalizing downwinding instruction. Starting with an inspection of my roof rack system, to every component of my board, to my paddle choice (she lent me several demos to allow me to discover the finer points), to exhaustive safety equipment recommendations and checks, to a very in depth paddle technique analysis, to comparative surf techniques downwinding vs wave surfing – I learned far more than I expected. I would recommend this instruction to anyone not already at an advanced level Dr. James Demetriou
