Josh is a great teacher for beginners! He was able to break down the basic steps of paddleboarding so I could feel more secure on the board and not be flopping around. He was encouraging and knew when to add the next skill so I could develop a bit of finesse. I also got to view his videos of me to really solidify the learning process. Thank you Josh! I'll be back.

What an amazing adventure. Having never done this before we weren’t sure what we were doing but Josh, the owner and our guide , was awesome. Quick tour of how a paddle board works and then onto the water. This was one of the best days out we have had and it was down to Josh. He made sure we were ok, encouraged us to stand up and made sure we had a great time. If you are around the Gordon Bay area and fancy a go then go for it. It was an amazing experience.
