WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY
EXCELLENT Based on 82 reviews Posted on Google Claire AllanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my first paddle board social last night and loved every minute of it. All the lovely people on the social on the 9th of August 2026 made me feel really welcome and took time to get to know me and to make sure I was ok every step of the way. Just love this club and glad I chose them to start my paddling boarding journey. Will see you again at the next social in Walton. Can’t thank you enough for getting me back on my board.

Brett is a great teacher, he took me through all of the equipment and the technique really clearly and I feel confident to get on my own paddle board now. We had beautiful weather and the stretch up to Hampton court was lovely. Great session, would recommendPosted on Google Aditi KatariaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Claire was amazing..so kind and helpful! Beautiful spot and such an exclusive experience. I came with my two energetic boys and zero experience myself, but she totally put us at ease. We had the best time swimming in the river, all in a safe and secure spot. So grateful to her!Posted on Google Daniel DolceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great day out on the river. Really easy way to book and good fun.
