"As someone who is new to paddleboarding I was throughly impressed with the quality of the SUP Taster Session! Our instructors were super friendly and welcoming - they made the whole group feel really relaxed and at ease. I felt like I was out on the water with an old friend and they helped develop my paddle skills and confidence throughout the session. Can't wait to come back and try the Board Hire Session next time!"
