Amazing

I went with my two teenage boys and all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the instructors were great, everything was well explained and felt completely safe the whole time. We had lots of air time, had a go at steering ourselves and then the instructors some aerial tricks- this has been the highlight of our holidays and I would thoroughly recommend 😊
