Reviews

Four of us had an amazing couple of hours paddle boarding. We all had a great time and a good laugh. All in all very professional, friendly and helpful set up, we are already talking about going and doing another activity with them.
Absolutely brilliant morning paddle boarding for our grandkids. They absolutely loved it. A really well set up business with great staff and amazing experiences.

We went paddle boarding and had a brilliant time. Everything was well explained and we got into the water quickly so there was plenty of time to practice all the skills demonstrated. It was such a good experience for a first timer that having got home, I am going to find somewhere in Hampshire to have another go! Thanks.
