Got some surfboards and wetsuits for a couple of hours. They were dropped off at the right place right time, he was very helpful and knowledgeable, gave us a little info about the beach because we hadn't surfed there before. Will definitely be using again and recommending
Excellent service! From booking via whatsapp to a very friendly and helpful member of staff when we arrived for our booking. Thank you!
Tutor was excellent. Great manner. Very friendly, patient and knowledgeable, not just about paddleboarding but the area and wildlife. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thanks so much.

Well organised, excellent communication
Was very enjoyable
We had a fantastic time! What an amazing way to see the beautiful coastline between barafundle and stackpole quay. Brilliant instructor who was so knowledgeable about the area. The session was a mixture of exploring caves and jumping off ledges into the sea. Would highly recommend
