First time SUP boarding - My sister and I had a great morning out on the beautiful Swan river with Gordon on our first SUP experience. Gordon was extremely knowledgable and a great communicator. He was a friendly guy who made the lesson lots of fun and really rewarding. Thanks SUP Central WA!

Highly recommended - Gordon was great, he was patient & knowledgeable. Highly recommend getting a proper lesson/fundamentals for SUP. We’ll be back for hire & get more time on the board! Matilda Bay is so beautiful & sheltered, perfect for first timers on the board.

Loved it! - First time stand up paddle boarding and LOVED IT. Gordon is a fantastic teacher, very clear instructions and had myself and my son standing up and having fun in no time at all. Even taught us a couple of tricks which my son mastered after a few goes. Thanks Gordon, such a great experience which we will do again very soon I’m sure.

Wow - such a great location - and a friendly set up. - Gordon is friendly and welcoming. Makes everything relaxed and simple to understand. I wasn't new to SUP, so he gave me some extra skills and tips to master. However, when I watched him with other customers who were new, I saw how quickly everyone managed to stand up and how to get lots of fun out of the experience. He focussed on safety and control, before letting anyone 'out of the pen'! What a great experience - whether for newbies or those of us who have SUP'd before. And what a fantastic location - million dollar views. Who needs a boat! :)

Fantastic introduction to SUP! - Fantastic introduction to SUP! Great location, easy to access and comfortable for any supporters / spectators who come with you. Gordon was an excellent coach, covering safety matters and the basics of SUP very clearly on land before launching us. Once on the water, he supported each of us according to individual needs and also giving us time and space just to practice and fall in on our own. Highly recommended!!
