    I booked a 2 hour one to one lesson for my husband as a birthday present. He had the most fantastic time , his instructor was Claire , she was absolutely marvellous . He is now hooked on paddle boarding and in the very near future will be purchasing a board. I could not recommend Claire and your company too highly. Thank you for making the experience so wonderful for him.

    This was my first time using a paddle board and I was in a group session. I was a bit of a challenge as, apart from being older and less flexible in general, I’ve had both my knees replaced which restricts my ability to get on and off the ground. I couldn’t be happier with the tuition and SUP session. This is harder to do than it looks and I can’t say I found it easy but I managed to get on my feet and paddle about with some patient help from our tutor and I also managed to sit down again afterwards without falling in! I will definitely be having another go and in the meantime will be working on improving my balance! If you want to have a go at paddle boarding, this is definitely a great place to start your journey!

    This was on my bucket list so treated myself for my Birthday and dragged along three family members to experience it with me. My Wife, Son & his Partner all had a thoroughly enjoyable time and Claire our instructor was excellent. My Wife wasn't confident enough to stand although Claire did try and help when my Wife was happy to try without any pressure. My Wife ended up kneeling for the whole duration of the lesson but still had an enjoyable time. The rest of us stood from quite early on into the lesson and our confidence grew as Claire gave us some more tips which we would have taken a long time to learn had we just gone out on our own. As for me, I've booked another session with my other Son who sadly couldn't make it the first time and I am currently looking at buying my own board! If you're thinking about trying SUP look no further, you've found the right place!
