What a an amazing experience. I bought a voucher for my Dad to do what ever he liked, and there were many choices. We chose Stand Up Paddle Boarding. The coaches were amazing at showing us techniques and helped us into the water. They were supportive and knowledgeable. The destination was hand selected right before we met up for the perfect conditions. I would definitely do it again, and I would choose to do it with Walking on Water. Thank you

My family and I had a surf lesson with Simon. For someone that has competed professionally, Simon had a patient manner and his passion for surfing was infectious. His lesson was a perfect balance between theory and practice and he ensured that key elements were understood before we got back out on the water. We’ll definitely be back again!!

Our whole family had a surfing lesson with Simon and it was fantastic. I could not recommend the experience more highly. He kept us safe AND we had a great time. He had the boys up on the boards unaided almost immediately and even got an old lady like me up there a few times. 11 out of 10 would do again 👌
