Amazing experience, loved every minute of it as did my family. The instructor was very good and patient while we got the hang of it. What a lovely setting to have our first paddle board lesson. Can’t recommend Salcombe Paddleboarding enough. Thank you all for a brilliant day.

My two 16 year olds did a two hour paddleboard lesson up the estuary. We had glorious still water and no wind. I had to accompany them (by boat) since they are under 18 yrs. They loved it and the instruction and kit was all excellent quality. Instructors are very friendly and obviously extremely competent and experienced. Everything ran to time. We also did a 3 hour coastal kayak. The kids enjoyed that but we all found that quite alot harder.

Had a great time on the Estuary Tour yesterday. Brilliant family activity. The staff were all super helpful and accommodating. Three of us hadn’t kayaked before. Sam gave clear instruction and put us all at ease. We all now want to buy our own Kayaks! Highly recommend.

Private paddleboarding lesson for 2 hours. Great instruction, and have gone from absolute novice to feeling comfortable and confident on the water. It’s a lovely venue in a great location. The prices are really reasonable too, and offer fantastic value. Thanks so much folks.

Brilliant two hours paddling around the water. Marcus was really helpful and gave us a warm welcome. He even lent us some of his sun cream to save us walking back up to the car!! I would definitely recommend renting out SUP boards here to explore the hidden parts of the coastline! It was so peaceful and a lot of fun. Can’t wait to do it all again soon!

Do you need a lesson?Yes you do! Lots of skills to learn for everyone This was a totally brilliant 2 hours with Zac who was super chilled and very professional.We were lucky to have very calm water and lots of sunshine.No need for a wetsuit in my eyes and shorty suits for my bookclub friends who were new to SUPs. Zac balanced our instruction well and took us to the peaceful pats of the estuary. We all learnt so much in the 2 hours and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 10/10 for Zac and Salcombe Paddleboarding. 10/10 for his headstand and 1/10 for mine!!

Highlight of the holiday We all loved our 2 hour paddleboarding session in the estuary . Zac our instructor was friendly , chilled and lots of fun . He made us feel safe and calm with lots of encouragement. We had to re-book this trip as our holiday dates changed due to Covid isolation and Kate was so helpful and reassuring when managing our booking . This was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend booking with these guys for a fab family experience.

Great fun! We had a great time with Salcombe Paddle Boarding and our instructor, Ella, was very helpful and made us feel safe. My children were nervous about the water but by the end of the session we’re saying this is the best holiday they have had.

Great fun and well managed Our three teenage boys had a great time, having been initially sceptical about going out with an instructor. Parents were also happy that they were supervised! Plenty of safety measures in place in case of emergencies and the instructor made the experience fun for them. Would definitely use again.

Highlight of our holiday! Many thanks to Sam today for our first ever SUP experience. A truly beautiful location plus super friendly, fun and top class teaching which suited the variety of ages within our group. We loved our afternoon and will always fondly remember our first paddle boarding in Salcombe with Sam.

Absolutely Brilliant! Highly recommend for all abilities My partner, my son and I booked a paddleboarding lesson. I’ve never tried it, but my son and partner have done a bit in the past. Our instructor Marcus was absolutely brilliant from the beginning of our lesson to the end. As a complete beginner I didn’t feel under any pressure and even though I didn’t get on my feet, I had a very enjoyable time and feel that I’ll be able to go back and try again. My partner and son are far more confident and were able to learn a massive amount and loved every minute.
