   We attended the BSUPA Level 1 Paddleboard course. Our instructor was calm, understanding and inspired confidence. He was also incredibly knowledgeable. We felt safe and confident with him. Good solid advice on bouancy aids, and equipment followed up with excellent advice on how to use it. On the water we learned how to paddle laying down, then kneeling and finally we ALL got up. None of us fell in. We paddled a little and then it was time to deliberately fall in so we could practice getting back on....Again, everyone managed to get back on!! This is a sign of great coaching! More paddling and practicing on/off, maneuvers and steering..and then we were taught stepback turns, and encouraged to get further and further back on the board. We went from nervous shaky wobbly beginners to confident paddlers twirling on the spot with stepback turns....again ALL of us were doing this! Incredible! If you want to learn Paddleboarding, get down there now, you wont regret it. Best money I have spent! Thank you HYMB!!

   I just love it here. I tend to go on a saturday morning and do the Kayaking from 10-12. It is so peaceful and calming it sets me up for the week. The staff are great & the facilities are excellent.

   Went kayaking! It was brilliant but they could have given a proper induction as we had to figure out the contraptions ourselves. (We could have asked to be fair) everyone on the water is happy to help and water isn’t deep!

   A great place. For large and small groups. I've taken my 9, 10 & 11 year old with friends over school holidays and a whole class of 30 for their leaving celebration. They've done paddle boarding, rafting, kayaking and more. The price is great for all day and I have no worries leaving them, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. There are wet suits and changing facilities. A basic shower. There is also a cheap tuck shop which the kids love too. Highly recommended.
