Great way to spend a sunny afternoon. Wonderfully different perspective of all the well known sites around Bristol Harbour. Our guide, Lexy, was brilliant. Great tips and advice to SUP better and guide us around the sites. Excellent changing/ showering facilities and perfect location meaning you're spoiled for choice for your post paddle pint

We enjoyed a great afternoon session with Lexy! She was a fantastic teacher, showing us extra tips/tricks which we will use when we take our boards out next. A great way to see the harbourside from the water. All the gear was great, as was communication for booking. Thanks Lexy / Tim / SUP Bristol!
