Happy Paddlers stories
I took a beginner SUP lesson with Aymee. The lesson was fantastic – super comprehensive and complete! Aymee took the time to review all fundamentals and safety, and we had plenty time on the water – even saw nurse sharks. The location is super easy to get to and park. I definitely will come back for more lessons and to paddle in the future.

Excellent experience! Aymee is a very good coach.

I took up SUP for the first time this year. My instructor Aymee is the most amazing person. I have learned so much from her. SUP has done wonders to how I feel mentally and physically. It gives you core strength, improves your posture and flexibility plus I am getting my cardio every time. I highly recommend Coach Aymee she is the sweetest always with a smile every time I saw her.
Carem Costa

Valeria Fomenko
My experience was beyond! I had the best instructor ever, Aymee! She is not only extremely proficient but has all the kindness, caring and support a beginner needs! She went into excellent detail and instruction before we got onto the water and best of all she took a lot of videos of me and sent them to me to observe and learn from. Looking forward to my next session soon!

The instructor was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The board was easy to use for a beginner and I was able to stand up and paddle on my first try. I had a great experience and would recommend it to any one.

Awesome experience. Aymee was patient and attentive. Took time to explain everything in detail and made sure we understood the basics before getting in the water. If you want to learn how to Paddleboard properly, this is the place. Already booked my next session :)
