Sup on the Medway River - I have taken part in several lessons/trips with Ana and today’s was a Sup trip along the river Medway in Paddock Woods/East Peckham.
Absolutely fabulous experience - including navigating a lock and safe ways to enter and exit the river.
We stopped at a coffee shop, for a yummy snack and to help support another small business.
Ana is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and super friendly. She always accommodates everyone’s comfort levels and makes the sessions fun.
Highly recommend booking a lesson, trip, or social event with Ana - she even offers board hire, if you do not have your own.

A 1st class paddle. - Ana and Boots On Adventures teamed up twice this year for our SUP Hike and Camp weekends.
Ana made everyone who joined us on the water instantly comfortable and everyone was able to stand on the board within a very short space of time. She tailored the day to fit everyone's capability and the group jelled on the water instantly.
Ana is a breath of fresh air, enthusiastic and professional. We would not choose to work with any other SUP company. She made the whole organising of both events so easy and her infectious personality is a true pleasure.
If your looking at getting on the water on a SUP then you need look no further. She has events in Kent, throughout the country and to exotic locations abroad which reflect Anas dedication to her passion has no limits.

Fun paddleboard taster - I joined a group session with Ana down the Medway to take in the surrounding nature, get comfortable to stand on my board and learn how to cross a lock.
Ana was so patient and encouraging and never left one person behind.
All the safety briefing was clear and the equipment provided was in good order. I felt safe and secure even though I am not able to swim far.
I would and will definitely be back for more, I had so much fun

What an adventure! Paddle from Tonbridge to Allington lock, Maidstone - I signed up for the all day paddle trip from Tonbridge to Allington Lock Maidstone, September 7th, 30 km. I have never completed anything like this distance before so was wondering what I had let myself in for, plus the fact we would have to carry our boards around 9 locks.
As a bonus, we were blessed with good weather. On arrival everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The majority of us were in the same boat regarding no previous experience of the distance.
We were initially all introduced to each other and Ana gave a briefing before going on the water that was reassuring about the day and how it was going to be managed. Attention to safety at all times, as well as making it a fun and enjoyable day. I was amazed that Ana even carried a small stove and was able to make hot drinks on her paddle board, which I am sure will serve well in colder weather.
Fellow paddler Rachel, a professional photographer, captured the day on film and photo, which we all received after (so no need to struggle with trying to do this ourselves). Such a brilliant job done and loved the video portraying the day to the soundtrack of 'September'.
I had an absolutely brilliant day, some soreness of the shoulders after such a long paddle, but this soon eased. We all completed the full 30km. Loved the scenery and the company.
Can't wait to join Ana on other similar trips.
Totally recommend to fellow paddlers!!

September sunshine - Ana gave us a fantastic one to one beginners lesson. She was patient and reassuring as we were a bit nervous to start. I was astonished to be able to stand up with her help and encouragement. She made the whole event relaxing and fun. And we didn’t even get wet!!

Fantastic experience and great introduction to SUP - I had my very first paddle board lesson with Ana, followed by a Ladies That Launch trip, and couldn’t have asked for a better introduction! Thanks to Ana’s clear and encouraging instruction, I was able to stand up during my very first lesson—and didn’t fall in once. When I later tried standing up on my own, I did fall, which just shows how effective her guidance and support really was!
Ana shared so many helpful tips and techniques, and the whole experience was incredibly relaxing. The scenery was stunning and peaceful, with a kingfisher even leading the way during the lesson.
On the Ladies That Launch trip, everyone was so welcoming and patient, always happy to go at the pace of the slowest paddler (me!). I felt completely supported and part of the group.
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and am already looking forward to joining more trips in the future. Highly recommended!

PADDLEBOARDING with Pals! 👯 - I was lucky enough to join Ana for a guided paddleboarding trip on the Medway and it was an absolute joy!
I had never done anything like this before but Ana gave really clear instructions and support throughout, we wasted very little time and were soon on the water. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I felt comfortable on the board. Ana gave excellent support and we were soon confident to stand. It was the perfect combination of physical activity and mindfulness and I left the session feeling very calm and content.
Ana has cleverly picked a location that is really accessible whilst also giving the feeling of being very peaceful and calm.
I loved my experience and I hope to do more sessions with Ana in the future as she really was the perfect instructor. I’ve already recommended it to everyone I know!

Family Paddle - We had a fantastic paddle around Tonbridge with Ana today. Her calm instruction made us feel confident straight away.
Two of us had never been on a board before but Ana had them up on their feet and doing yoga poses (😂) before we knew it!
Thank you Ana!
