Visual stories from the sea.
The summer months at Blue Coast have passed in a flash. We've been busy delivering surf and paddleboard lessons & experiences, and now Coasteering too! The surf was pumping with out-of-season swell lighting up some of the spots along the coast.. yeehaa!
Blue Coast has had a great start to the season, with plenty of activities running despite the slow start to the spring weather. The last couple weeks have seen a shift in the weather, with warmer air and water temperatures and plenty of sunny days. Don't forget your sunscreen if you're coming to join us!
Blue Coast has just turned the fine age of 1 year old. It's been a great first year and we're looking forward to the next (and hopefully many more) doing what we love!
As our main season comes to a close, we're reflecting on some awesome things that happened at Blue Coast in August, September and October.
I can only repeat what has been said in many reviews before. Adam is a consumate professional and went out of his way to help especially as none of the four in our group had paddleboarded before. To compound things further two of us were'nt that confident in the water to begin with but Adam took care of that by giving us all a detailed and comprehensive briefing before going into the water and also by taking time to give some 1-2-1 help when we struggled with certain elements. Having listened to Adam's briefing we all managed to get mobile and after a short while of building up our confidence Adam got every one of us up onto our feet and paddling about with relative ease. I cant praise Adam highly enough for looking after us and for imparting his knowledge to us and for giving us practical lessons that were fun. If you want to learn the basics of paddleboarding within a safe environment Adam would be my first and only choice. Do it, you wont regret it !!!!
Couples Intro to SUP. This was a really enjoyable intro to paddle boarding. Adam the instructor was excellent and the location was fab.
Fabulous coasteering trip - excellent relaxed and professional adventure. Adam ensured our whole diverse group challenged and enjoyed themselves from aged 22-61, Adrenaline seekers to first time rock jumper. Fab time
We had a great time doing the introduction for couples paddleboarding. Adam was a great teacher and we had lots of fun and learned a lot. Would definitely recommend
Such a fun experience! A beautiful location to try surfing and Adam was great at looking out for my two kids and making it fun for everyone. We can’t wait to come back!
I thoroughly enjoyed my paddle board lesson. It was completely out of my comfort zone, both the activity and booking by myself. However Adam explained everything clearly and was really encouraging. I can’t wait to be back in the area to book onto a tour!
We thoroughly enjoyed our group lesson on paddle boards at Port Knockie harbour. Keir was an excellent instructor giving us all the basics with patience and fun. We were so lucky with the weather. Some of us were worried about being cold but the high quality wet suits, gloves and boots kept us warm.
If you wear glasses remember to bring a head strap to keep them on. You will fall in and if you don’t, you’ll have to get in to practice “saving” each other.In summary, a fabulous fun and safe experience.
Our older two daughters had tried paddle boarding before and had a great time. Now it was time for the whole family to give it go. We had a good time and Adam was a super instructor. He was really patient and encouraging and helped us all feel comfortable on a board. It was a fun afternoon activity.
Absolutely amazing session, I managed to stand up and learnt recovery techniques. I felt safe throughout and the instructor Adam was brilliant. My group ranged from 40-70 so really an excellent activity for all ages. Would recommend to all
Absolutely amazing..
Finley was the perfect teacher for the children, he made their day.
Will definitely be back and highly recommend..
Adam is fantastic - gear was great - what a fabulous experience - thank you
I had a great time learning to Stand Up Paddleboard with Adam. He was a very good instructor. I was a bit nervous beforehand,but I felt safe during the lesson. I learnt a lot and feel ready togo out on my own paddleboard.
We had a fantastic morning with Adam yesterday. He was an excellent teacher. He had us all standing on our boards within 10 minutes. We would highly recommend this fun and exciting experience
I booked the SUP lesson and tour for my mum's 60th birthday celebrations. It was our first time paddle boarding, at first my mum was very nervous but with lots of encouragement and a progressive approach to learning from Adam, she was able to summon the courage to venture out of the harbour. However we opted to stay in the harbour for the remainder of our lesson to build on the skills we had just learned and gain some more confidence instead of completing the full tour, Adam was incredibly flexible with his plans to meet our needs. I would definitely recommend this to beginners. We can't wait to come back and complete the rest of the tour.
Best surf lesson I have had! Adam was so thorough and clear in his teaching. He would make us all feel safe and also encouraged during our time in the waves. He took the time to give individual feedback on technique to help us improve throughout the lesson. Such a fun day out!
Our 1st time paddle boarding and we were both so glad to have had as well an experienced and knowledgeable person as Adam teaching us. A very enjoyable experience.
We did a couples introduction to SUP and we absolutely loved it! We learned a lot from Adam who was a great teacher. We would definitely recommend to others.
This was great fun and an excellent first-time surfing experience! I would definitely recommend this to any beginners / couples looking to try surfing.
Excellent morning of coasteering with superb views and adrenaline fuelled adventure ending at Bow Fiddle rock. Adam our guide was very good, and his knowledge of the area is clearly visible. I think maybe he had an easy morning with us in a good way, with our background we all got stuck in, didn't have to ask twice, straight into higher jumps and the conditions were perfect. I would highly recommend Blue Coast for your adventure. Great communication from start to end.
I joined Kimberly and Adam for a fantastic Surfing and Yoga Day Retreat! The awesome, well guided, all-kit-provided surf lesson was sandwiched between 2 well-crafted and enjoyable yoga sessions. Followed by the most delicious pizza I've had all year!Despite feeling a bit nervous before the surfing, Adam put me at total ease, he was encouraging, supportive and helpful. It made the experience throughly immersive, enjoyable and fun. I loved every minute and didn't even get cold. I felt amazing afterwards, like I'd had full body massage! Can't wait to come back! -Alice
