Paddleboard Addict

A group of us went this past weekend to the bluffs location for a beginner’s lesson.
The instructor was very friendly and helpful with getting us started.
We toured around the marina area which was ideal for beginners as the water was a lot calmer than out in the lake. The area was incredibly beautiful and we all loved the experience.

Absolutely one of the best companies I have ever dealt with! I have taken out large groups and Paul and his instructors have been amazing to work with! They are always on time professional, and helpful. They are laid back and very easy to talk to, Paul was always available via email or phone and he was flexible with dates and times to accommodate the group!
The day we went out the instructors made sure everyone knew what they were doing, also once everyone grasped it they taught different tricks, over all an amazing experience for everyone and glad we found this company! If you want to go check out these guys first!

Thanks to the wonders of the interwebs, I stumbled upon Paddleboard Addict when I was looking for a spot to take an intro class with a group of friends. I had searched initially on Unilocal but options came up short (following this review that will no longer be an issue).
I connected with business owner Paul and chatted about prices, location, times and dates (the usual). Paul was very laid back and yet totally professional letting me know that he was flexible and totally willing to accommodate us on our day of choice.
Making himself readily available by phone or email we confirmed a date and time and only needed to pay for one person in advance to secure the time slot, which I did via e-​mail money transfer (oh the joys and conveniences of internet).
When the day came, admittedly we were a touch (45 minutes) tardy, however we made sure to let Paul know we’d be running behind. When we finally arrived Paul was waiting for us happy to have us there. We signed some waivers and paid the rest of our balance owing and walked towards the close by community of floating houses (apparently something no longer allowed to be built in Ontario).
Paul was a gracious host and professional guide, teaching us the basics of SUP (Stand-​up Paddleboard) in minutes and getting us on our way quick. He took us around the marina and into the open water area teaching us about the ecosystem around us, the clarity of the water, and various wildlife present (didn’t get to see the Karp or Muskeye he bragged about — probably a good thing). The entire experience was informative, fun, great exercise and a real joy all the way around!
We were also fortunate enough that there weren’t other bookings that day so Paul ended up taking us out for another 20 – 30 minutes over the hour we paid for!
We all agreed that this was a great experience and would DEFINITELY come back to try! I HIGHLY recommend you give this place a try or at the very least try your hand at SUP!
PS — Lake Ontario is ICE COLD — I didn’t fall in BUT daaayyummmmm that ISH is C-​O-​L-​D!
