5.00I had a great 2 hours with Ange. She gave me a lesson before we left and even though I own a paddleboard and have done it I learned quite a bit. We had a great chat as we paddled across the bay and I learned a great deal about the Maori history on Mt. Maunganui and some of their past and present cultural practices during our snack stop. Overall I enjoyed the experience a great deal.Paddle
