“What a great way to get back on the board - thank you James for such a fantastic experience. I was super impressed with the level of professionalism, your knowledge and how much I learnt about paddling on the Thames, tides, regulations, etc And how you broke down the basics of paddling for me so I could understand and experience them as we went along! Thanks again and see you soon!”

I did the 1 hour beginners session which was a great intro - got on the water and standing up quickly. I went solo which was fine too. I’ve already booked to go back for the longer beginners session. Highly recommend!”
