Really enjoyed my paddle boarding lesson with Adam. He’s a great teacher, friendly and knowledgeable.
I’m a complete beginner, Adam guided me through everything I needed to know as we went along. So you build up your confidence and skill level bit by bit. I was up and running pretty quickly and went from being a wobbly newby to feeling comfortable on the board, plus how to get myself back on the board and rescue others in an emergency.
The equipment is great and the wet suit kept me warm even in October.
Cheers Adam I can’t wait to head out on my own paddle board!
I had been thinking of having a go at paddle boarding for a long time and finally I took the bull by the horns and messaged Adam @ Blue Coast.
I had some doubts of my abilities - I’m 64 and wondered if I’d left it too late - but Adam couldn’t have been more encouraging.
I arrived in Cullen on a beautiful Sunday morning in October to find Adam all ready for me. All the equipment is provided so you don’t need to have any expensive outlays before you try the activities.I thought it was going to be a group session but others had cancelled so I was the only pupil that day - an extra bonus. 😊
Any misgivings I may have had were soon dispelled by Adam’s calm and engaging manner, and before I knew it I was standing up and paddling away.There were a range of paddle boarding techniques which Adam took me through with patience…(a lot of patience) and good humour. Falling in is a given, so I quickly became an expert in ‘getting back on the board’…nailed it!
For those that might worry about being cold, I never once felt it - the wetsuit, neoprene shoes and gloves keep you really warm, and when the sun was shining it was almost too warm! ☀️
I cannot rate Blue Coast Surf & Paddle highly enough - it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and after 2 hours I was exhausted, but really happy with what I’d achieved.My only regret is that I didn’t get involved earlier in the year, but I’ll definitely be back next year for some more lessons, and maybe some canoeing too.
Thank you Adam.
Have now had both a Paddleboard and a surf lesson and Adam is a first class teacher, very informative and knowledge is second to none, very patient (he needed to be 🤷🏻) as well, which makes it a fantastic relaxed and fun learning experience.. will be back next year to conquer my surf frustrations!!🤣 5⭐️
Amazing experience and overall time!
we went paddleboarding as a team building exercise from 1pm - 3pm in October I was nervous thinking the water would be freezing but the wetsuits provided were perfect. I am so glad I did the lesson with Adam he was a brilliant trainer and made us all feel at ease, even though I struggled with the steering to begin with I would feel more confident doing it again. thanks again Adam
Great Experience! We had a brilliant afternoon learning to surf! Adam is a great instructor! I was pretty nervous before hand but he put me at ease straight away.He had us all standing up on our boards pretty quickly! ( i thought i had no chance 😂)Think we are all hooked now and desperate to have another go!Just sorry we dont live closer so we could go more often! Will definetly be back!Hoping to book one of the Stretch and Surf weekends with some friends.Thanks so much Adam for a great afternoon 😊
My first ever attempt at surfing and absolutely loved it. Instructions were clear and we'll demonstrated, a fantastic experience from start to end. Highly recommended 😁👍
Superb fun and felt perfectly safe under the expert tuition. Never been in a wet suit before, never mind on a paddle board but it was a great 2 hours.
We went as a team building exercise for two hour session. Adam was an excellent trainer and very quickly out us all at our ease. It was a fun session and after an incredibly short period of time had us all standing on our paddleboards and scooting around the harbour! Adam was very patient with us and took time to explain things to some of us more than once! :-). A fantastic afternoon and several of us are keen to return soon.
I attended two days of the surf and stretch weekend. An absolutely fantastic and fun experience. Adam is a great instructor, taking the time to woke with everyone individually as well as instruct the group. The surfing mixed perfectly with Kimberley’s yoga sessions. I also took advantage of the special deal to stay at Seafield hotel.
I’ve previously been on the couples SUP lesson and that gave me plenty of confidence to use my own bits in the future.
Highly recommended.
Had a couples SUP lesson with Adam. As a pair of amateurs, we were made to feel confident and really well supported. I’d highly recommend booking anything with Blue Coast Surf & Paddle if you’re visiting the area. Highlight of our trip- thanks Adam!
Had a super morning surfing with my son. Really great fun and excellent host, very informative and helpful. Thank you very much would definitely do again 😁
