I had a wonderful day on Sunday at a beginners paddle boarding session. It was a surprise birthday present and being over sixty I was a little apprehensive. But I needn’t have worried, instructors Paul and Liz were excellent and Liz took really good care of me throughout the session making sure I was safe and felt comfortable. It was a lovely afternoon and we travelled a long way. It was a wonderful way to spend a birthday, I fully recommend DPB and am planning to go again in the future.

Yesterday I had a fantastic Sunday afternoon at an introductory course, and it was truly brilliant! The instructors were amazing—super friendly and their explanations were incredibly clear. Before I knew it, we were out on the water, checking out the local area. And because it was such a beautiful day, the class actually went on longer than planned, which was just perfect!
