I booked a 2 hour paddle boarding lesson with Dom for a stag do. Dom showed us all the techniques and water safety we needed, once we were all confident Dom set up some fun games and activities for the group. Some of the group had never done paddle boarding before and were a bit nervous about it, but after the lesson everyone was looking forward to doing it again in the future. I would definitely recommend Dom and Just Paddle.

We booked a lesson with Dom to learn the basics of paddling our 2 person sit on top kayak purchased recently. He was a fantastic teacher and is really passionate about what he does and the waterways environment. He genuinely seems to enjoy the lesson as much as we did and we left feeling really bouyed up (scuse the pun). After a fun 2 hours on the water learning various techniques, strokes and general water safety, we feel confident enough to get out there and explore the waterways by ourselves. Highly recommended if you want to take up any paddling activity.

I booked a private 2 hour Paddle Boarding session with Dom for my wife's Birthday, she had been wanting to try it for a while and was really looking forward to the session. We both left our session absolutely buzzing as it was brilliant fun (and we didn't fall in!) all thanks to the extremely personable experience from start to finish from Dom. Excellent instructor, easy going, all about what you want to learn and do in your session, bit of Yoga fun thrown in along route and the location was superb. Quiet, plenty of space to get to grips with the board, balance and directional changes and close up wildlife to boot. I cannot recommend Dom and Just Paddle enough. If you want to learn SUP or other paddle sports, get in touch with Dom, you'll not regret it.

I’ve been paddle boarding in Bedford twice now, both times with Dom as our instructor. I absolutely love it! Such a lovely way to spend a couple of hours. Dom is a great guide, clear instructions & no pressure, just literally go with the flow of the river! Would highly recommend & will definitely attend more sessions.

We've been paddle boarding with Dom two years running while camping at Wild Canvas nearby. He's a fantastic instructor, patient, friendly and knowledgeable. From the kids to the nervous adults, he helped us all get so much better even in just 90 minutes. Great fun and highly recommend Just Paddle.

In late August my partner organized a paddle boarding lesson with Dom for my birthday. It was my best afternoon of the year so far as Dom is a excellent instructor and had us standing up and confident within half an hour. He takes health and safety seriously and explained everything we needed to know in a easy to understand manner. If you are a absolute beginner or have had some time paddle boarding than look no further than this gentleman for your experience on the water. Kash

I’ve been paddle boarding twice with Dom on the Friday morning sessions. . It’s such a lovely way to spend a couple of hours on the river. Dom is very relaxed, and you can take things at your own pace. He gives clear guidance & demonstrates different skills. I will definitely be going again & would highly recommend these sessions to anyone who is new to the sport or wants to improve their paddle boarding skills.

Booked a 2-hour SUP and Kayak session for my son and daughter with Dom and they loved it. Neither of them had tried it before but both were very keen. Dom took his time to explain everything they needed and answer their questions to ensure they were confident before getting in the water. He was always very considerate, listened carefully and let my children guide what they wanted to do with the session. The session was much more than just paddling around, and they learnt skills and developed their abilities during their time – especially impressive as Dom was dividing his attention between one in a Kayak and the other on a SUP. Two tired but very happy children! I would recommend Dom and Just Paddle UK for anyone who wants to try Kayaking or SUP.

Fantastic Sunset paddle with Dom last night in Bedford. He truly goes out of his way to ensure that each and everyone in the group is comfortable and has a good experience. I would highly recommend learning to paddle with Dom - he has the skill of being professional while making it fun on the river. Thanks again Dom :)

Booked for me & my boyfriend to attend a group session for beginners. It was great fun, very peaceful being out on the water once you've found some confidence. Dom was a very patient & relaxed instructor, learnt all our names straight away & was so enthusiastic and encouraging. We'll definitely be trying it again.

Another great paddle with Dom yesterday evening. Sadly a bit too cloudy for much of a sunset, but wonderfully still and peaceful on the river. Mixed group some of whom had paddled before and others not, but Dom made sure we were all comfortable, knew what we were doing, and allowed people to work on skills at their own pace.

Perfect way to try paddleboarding. Dom is very good at instilling confidence and easing you into the fun part! Very well organised and structured - we were nervous for about five minutes but after that we relaxed and really enjoyed our first paddle on the beautiful Ouse - right in the centre of Bedford but you'd never know, the river is so peaceful and scenic. Dom is a great teacher, and really knows his stuff - don't go anywhere else!

My sister and I went down to the river for a 2-hour session with Dom so he could teach me the basics of kayaking and teach her stand up paddle boarding. He answered all of my questions about capsizing, and after fitting us with buoyancy aids, showing us the techniques and giving us some safety information, he took us out onto the water. He showed us tricks and more advanced techniques as well as some of the wildlife and even took us out to the slalom poles to have a go weaving around them. Very helpful and friendly coach, and an extremely fun time on the water. Five stars - would definitely go again!

Such a fun afternoon paddling with Dom as a family. He was a calm, patient and very professional teacher. We had such a lovely relaxing time on the river & always felt very safe. Thank you

This was a first experience at paddle bording. Dom was a very calm and patient instructor. The equipment seemed was pretty new and good quality and paddling on the tranquil river Ouse was memorable. Happy to recommend.

My sister and I booked an introduction to paddle boarding- we had a really fun 2 hours with Dom who was very knowledgable about the sport and the area. I’d highly recommend booking!

We booked a stand up paddle boarding lesson for 4 teenage girls. Dom, the instructor was excellent. His instructions were clear and he made the girls aware of the safety issues and water sports etiquette. He kept a careful eye on the participants and they had a fun filled lesson. Comments from the girls after the lesson included “brilliant”, “fantastic” and “when can we come again?” We thoroughly recommend Dom and Just Paddle to any person wishing to try stand up paddle boarding. Thank you Dom.

Huge thanks to Dom who coached me as a beginner to paddle boarding this morning. A wonderful 2 hours on the river being given fantastic and effective tuition in a relaxed and friendly way. Dom is knowledgeable and encouraging; I really enjoyed his company too. Highly recommended

HI all we just joined Dom on his one and a half hour paddle board session, myself and my two kids 10 and 12 had an amazing time. From a great introduction on the river Bank, to getting on the water and standing up in no time at all, the hour on the water flew past, we ended the session with us all trying a few tricks and jumping in the river. Would highly recommend to any and every one.

I booked an introduction to paddle boarding for myself and my husband. The day was cool and rainy, but we had a wonderful time. Dom is a great instructor and his warmth and enthusiasm are a tonic. I will definitely return to learn more and the expeience of paddle boarding was magical. Thank you.

Today, we went to just paddle. I am just a child but I had lots of fun. I have never done paddle boarding before so naturally I didn't think I would be able to stand up but I did. It was very lighthearted so if you fell in you didn't feel embarrassed! I had a lovely time there thanks to just paddle! From Emily, age 11

We have just spent a fantastic afternoon on the water within the grounds of Turvey House. Dom is the ultimate professional, but also makes it great fun. My 2 sons had not been before, they made such progress within the session and are now hooked. Dom is a superb teacher and we will be back for more. Highly recommend

Fantastic SUP experience. Been paddle boarding twice now with Dom on the Great Ouse. Dom's a great instructor - supportive and reassuring. Felt completely safe, no pressure to stand up but when I did Dom was there to make sure I was in control. Brilliant activity overall - paddling with a group of friends, the river, a bit of physical activity... perfect way to spend an afternoon.

N. P.

I've been on a couple paddles with Dom, one with an 11 year old who wanted to get wet! The delivery is excellent, informative, relaxed and fun. Because I'd enjoyed previous paddles, I decided to go on the British Canoeing SUP Sheltered water course. I learned lots of new skills. Dom is an excellent instructor. I had a fun day, I learned lots. I'd definitely recommend Just Paddle to anyone interested in learning more about SUP.

C. S.

Great experience for a first time paddle boarder! Dom is an excellent instructor, had me feeling comfortable quickly. Lots of fun, would fully recommend to anyone wanting to try paddle boarding.

Met Dom for some SUP training with the family. We had a great afternoon he was able to adjust training to meet all the needs of the individuals within the group and we all came away feeling we had learned loads and were much more confident. Great experience. Thank you!

We booked Just Paddle for a two hour beginners group SUP and was not disappointed! Dom is an excellent teacher - knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic. We would highly recommend Just Paddle and will book again in the future!

G. s.

Although we were a group of complete beginners, Dom’s patience, kindness and gentle humour made sure we all had a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend Just Paddle and will definitely be booking again!

Friendly and effective staff. Been hiring kayaks and canoes from here for four years. Plan to continue to do so.

Really enjoyable beginners group lesson. Facilities were restricted due to covid, but instructors were relaxed, friendly and very capable. Had a great afternoon paddle boarding on this pretty lake.

Delighted to paddle with Just Paddle again today and with my family. Thank you! Ages ranging from 12+ all well supported and taught the art of SUP on the River Great Ouse with Dom. Thanks so much
