10/10 - My husband, son and I arrived at the canal and was greeted by Sam. He quickly got us sized up for wetsuits and got us on the water immediately. It was so much fun! Sam has years of experience and is very knowledgeable and his lessons are easy to follow and understand. The lesson was great. My husband and I both fell in and Sam was able to get us back on our boards within minutes with clear directions. My son wasn’t able to stand up and Sam didn’t make a fuss. He just encouraged him to do his best on his knees and enjoy the lesson. We had a great time and are looking forward to paddle boarding again.

Great introduction to SUP - Fantastic morning learning the basics of Stand Up Paddleboarding. The instructor was excellent; friendly, knowledgeable and patient. All equipment needed was provided, including wet suit if required. I came away with the confidence to have another go at SUP on my own, and will definitely do so!

Great class! - Fantastic experience, learnt loads and got a lot more confident on the board. Sam was really good at putting people at ease and teaching us different techniques. This class was enough for me to feel confident having a go at paddle boarding on my own

Making a splash with SUP - I had been looking to get a paddle board for some time and thought it would be worth trying a taster session before i took the plunge. Very straightforward to book on the website and an email confirmation followed. On the day had a text from Sam confirming still going ahead and any extra questions. We met at the apperley bridge marina and donned the wetsuits ( if needed) . The lesson was very straightforward and gave myself the basic steps to be able to paddle, stand up , turning and how to get back on the board if you fall in which i did a few times…. Sam was very calm and explained the instructions that anyone could pick up. Definitely would recommend and i will be book another session soon

Amazing intro session - would highly recommend! - I booked a beginners session for my sister in laws birthday. Sam was great. He was really calm and made us feel totally relaxed and in control. All equipment was provided so we didn’t have to think, or worry, about anything. Sam taught one step at a time, so we never felt overwhelmed, and he always encouraged us which meant that our confidence grew. We had a brilliant time and are now both totally hooked! I would recommend this to anyone who has ever fancied having a go at paddle boarding. Wha

Paddle Boarding Taster Session - Great taster session with Sam. Made the whole thing feel easy, very relaxed but learnt both practical and theory. The lesson gave me the confidence to go again which I’ll be doing very soon.

Excellent Taster Session - A great session with Sam, very informative, and good tips for next time. Apperley Bridge marina is a good place to try paddle boarding as quite shallow if you fall into the water and there is a cafe nearby. Thanks, Josh
