    Girard and his team have built something special here, judging by the overwhelmingly enthusiastic feedback. The owner clearly knows his stuff when it comes to watersports, and customers rave about his patience and genuine passion for matching people with the right equipment. Whether you're renting, buying, or taking lessons, expect helpful guidance and smooth communication from start to finish. Andrew and Taylor get particular shoutouts as surf instructors who bring both skill and encouragement to their teaching. The location at Indian River Veterans Memorial seems ideal for wildlife encounters. Multiple reviewers mention magical experiences paddling alongside manatees and dolphins, often in quiet coves that Girard personally recommends. The operation runs efficiently with everything from online booking to equipment shipping handled professionally. First-timers consistently feel comfortable here, with instructors taking time to break down techniques while keeping things fun. It's the kind of place where people return year after year, which speaks volumes about the consistent quality and welcoming atmosphere.

    We had a wonderful time with the owner Girard. We have also had great SUP tours and surfing lessons from Andrew. But our time with Girard was spent with friends who had no experience paddle boarding. It was really amazing to see Girard give a tour while providing both basic and advanced SUP training. This is our 5th time in 11 years and while we continue to age the experience remains consistently amazing.
