"I just wanted to write a quick email to thank you for a wonderful lesson and paddle last weekend. I loved paddle surfing, and really look forward to doing more of it. Your enthusiasm and love of the sport really inspired me, and I hope to see you out on the waves again soon. All the best for a wonderful summer." Danielle"We both had the best time stand-up paddling and are so happy that we took the time to try this new (to us) sport and that you were free to teach us. You were so incredibly patient with both us of and very encouraging in our trials and unexpected dives into the drink! You made our experience very comfortable and relaxing. We started paying much more attention to the stillness and ripples in the water after our lesson as well!" Jeanne & Geoff"
"It was just the most amazing experience - I couldn't believe I could do it at my age (55). It was fun and very relaxing." Leanne and Colin from Sydney
