Had such a great experience with GoPaddle. Everything is explained so great for novices. A really nice team in charge. Highly recommend spending a morning on the Slaney with them.

I have just come off the water after a private coaching morning with Susan ( Doyle ). I have been in group tuition level 3 skills training before so knew I was on a winner. However this one to one was totally new for me and a bit scary with all the attention on me . Well I can only highly recommend it . Susan helped me relax from moment i met her and right through out checking how was I feeling . She understood my learning needs and really listened to me as to how I take in information needing verbal , visual and demonstration and repetition She helped so much by breaking down each skill at my pace and taking it back a step if I struggled to grasp it  . She was so open to questions , every answer she insuring I understood it. I have come away on a high relaxed , knowing I just need to practice practice , practice and let it all flow. Thank you Susan as I said already your reputation goes before you I had an idea from the group of your talent but it really shines individually . Keep up the great work and thank you for all the I tune instruction and the belly laughs . I will be back for lots more

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Martin was a super teacher, very patient and geared the whole session towards what we wanted to learn. All safety aspects were covered first, and throughout our time on the water, which made us all feel confident no matter what we were doing. We were a group of 4 in our 60s, who had never been in a kayak before, and we loved every minute of it.
