My children and myself loved the experience. The instructors are there to guide you through the techniques and help you if you lose your paddle and so on. If you are a first timer on paddleboarding, this is what you want with the instructors by your side. Excellent location, fantastic instructors and an amazing experience.
Thanks Troju, was a pleasure having you.. bring you and the kids surfing.. its great for ages 6+.. we'll get you up on the board too =)
Great to experience the learning basics of paddleboarding.
Thanks Jo.. Was a good lesson, you did well.. small group sizes is where we thrive.. keep in touch and come out surfing with us!
I strongly recommend Che as an instructor- having never even been on a paddle board before I fully expected to fall off a few times but he gives such clear and thorough guidance that learning becomes very easy and I was happily paddle boarding within the hour - fantastic value
`Awesome Janine.. you did so well, thanks for coming out Manhawhai.. need to get you our Surf Lesson next! Yeeew
