Hen and Stag Reviews
Great friends and family paddle boarding experience in Chichester Canal!
Miri Gellert-Shemtov
We had a brilliant session with Ian as part of our friend’s hen do. It was such great fun and well-taught in a simple and engaging way. There were a few of us (myself included!) who were quite apprehensive beforehand, but we were put at ease and had such a positive experience. It was a family-run session – Ian was joined in his teaching by his wife and daughter, which added a lovely dimension to the team and dynamic. Thank you Amy, for helping me far exceed my expectations….! This was a perfect addition to the Hen Weekend!
