Really easy way to book and good fun.Posted on Z UTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantástic experience, Claire was easily contactable and very welcoming!Posted on KirstieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of going out for a beginners session on the first weekend of the season. The session was great value for money, well paced, and truly a lovely way to spend the morning. Hugely grateful the team took me out despite not meeting minimum group numbers. Highly recommend the paddle club as a way of getting out on the Thames!Posted on Six PackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our instructor was amazing..the whole experience was the best….she explained everything in detail, loud and clear, excellent service and I’ve already started recommending her to friends and family,she’s the bestPosted on Gill KeelingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been on a couple of the paddle safaris and I've been made very welcome. They go at a pace to suit everyone and it's very much a social, steady paddle with coffee/loo stops if necessary. I use my kayak as I'm not confident on a paddle board, and have loved how well the trips are organised. Fully recommend for well-being and change of scenery.Posted on Tessa BartholomewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabulous urban SUP safari led by Anu and Clare. Lovely people, interesting route and fabulous pub booked in advance for lunch. It was a perfect day! Looking forward to the next outing on the Limehouse Loop. Thanks a million - highly recommended and safe.Posted on m.e. McNTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great day on the Basingstoke canal for the pink paddle breast cancer awareness. Exceptionally friendly and welcoming group of people.Posted on KathrynTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hired paddle boards from Dittons yesterday and had a brilliant experience. Was quite last minute but they reached out personally almost immediately to get us booked in, gave great comprehensive info on how to find them and was lovely to meet Clare in person who provided our boards. Great location, great equipment and next to a wonderful pub with ample parking. Lovely day - would definitely hire here again!Posted on clair porteousTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a brlliant morning. My paddle board tutor, Claire was not only patient but also knew when to gently suggest I should do something to develop my skills which I really appreciated. So in just one session I went from my legs shaking standing up to being perfectly calm and at home on the board to diving into the Thames and then getting back on my board TWICE! All under Claire's expert eye. Gotta say I'm a bit hooked on it and will be back for an improver session before I venture out with the club! Thanks Claire without your expert guidance I doubt my experience would have been such a positive one! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to try out paddle boarding!!!
