What people are saying

Alison Holvey

Fantastic Whitewater SUP Safety -Leash & No Leash Awareness course run by Tom and Ollie on the River Dart. The day covered all aspects of paddling with and without a leash. Tom and Ollie explained all aspect’s thoroughly and demonstrated each move. Lots of practical experience in the day. Both Tom and Ollie were very patient and so encouraging. I can’t recommend this course enough.

Rachel Jenifer

“Tom was fantastic on a WW sup course on the Dart. I was pretty nervous at the beginning but he was great at guiding me through the features and building my confidence so that by the end of the day I could stand up through some white water. Thoroughly recommend for great coaching of skills and improving understanding of rivers and moving water.”

Barry Davies

Thanks Tom for a great session moving from flat water to moving water and then progressing to standing paddling down a drop. It gave a me a great proud Dad moment watching my daughter progress and enjoying your session at WW SUP Fest North Wales.
