Eva stands out as an exceptional instructor who genuinely cares about creating memorable water adventures. Reviewers consistently praise her patience, encouragement, and ability to adapt activities for everyone from complete beginners to experienced paddleboarders. First-timers mention feeling comfortable and supported, with Eva's clear instructions helping them master standing on boards faster than expected. She's described as welcoming, upbeat, and knowledgeable, bringing years of experience to every session. The variety of activities is impressive, from paddleboarding and kayaking to paddle board yoga and Pilates. Groups of all sizes seem to have excellent experiences, whether it's families of seven or larger gatherings of thirteen. The locations around Gulf Shores, Pensacola, and Bon Secour offer beautiful water views that enhance the adventure. Communication before activities is reliably clear, and Eva shows flexibility with scheduling around weather. One tip from visitors: consider the 9am slot during hot summer months for a more comfortable experience.
What a day! Surprised my daughter with paddle boarding lessons in Pensacola, Eva was amazing, supporting and very patient! She worked with me to not only face me fears but with my physical restrictions. My daughter, of course, was a natural. Thank you for help making my daughter's day perfect! 100% recommend.
