Sam has built something really special here for dog owners who want to try paddleboarding. What comes through in nearly every review is her genuine love for dogs and her ability to read both canine and human anxiety levels. First-timers consistently mention how nervous they were beforehand, only to find themselves standing confidently on the board within their first session. Even water-resistant and fearful dogs seem to warm up under her patient, creative approach. She provides thorough instruction before you hit the water, takes fantastic photos during your time out there, and creates an atmosphere that feels more like paddleboarding with a friend than a formal lesson. The experience works for complete beginners and those looking for ongoing lessons to build skills. People rave about the stable boards that accommodate large dogs, the convenient location, and Sam's warm personality that makes the whole outing feel relaxed and fun. Several reviewers mention booking repeat sessions and bringing friends back, which speaks volumes. She also hosts group events that are well-organized with refreshments and a welcoming vibe. If you've been curious about trying this activity with your pup, Sam seems to have the expertise and temperament to make it a genuinely great experience.
What an outstanding experience! I have never paddleboarded before. I'm a plus size person and was worried I wouldn't be able to do this. Samantha answered questions ahead of time via text and eased our fears. She was very thorough and thoughtful in her explanations. I was so nervous of falling in. She showed me how stable I was and made me feel comfortable. If you have pups, do this. You will not regret it!! Plus she takes great pictures!! Thank you, Samantha!
