Paddleboard Connection

This was our first time going paddleboarding. Our tour guide, Vivian did such an amazing job of teaching us how to paddle board, as well as, guide us through the intercoastal. It was a very memorable experience and we definitely look forward to going again soon! Highly recommend this tour, especially for beginners!

I rarely write reviews but this time I just had to. Vivian is outstanding, she knows how to
teach. She’s patient, knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease immediately. She spends
time with you and really explains everything and her instructions are perfect, if anyone can
get you paddle boarding, it’s Vivian. Thanks you so much for a great experience, I can’t wait to go out with you again.

I’ve always wanted to try paddle boarding. Had a living social deal for two people brought my favorite person. I loved it!!! Vivian was a great instructor and guide through the inter coastal off Deerfield Beach Pier. Proud I only fell off twice but got right back. I’m hooked.

Highly recommend! Vivian is fantastic — she made us feel immediately comfortable. Everyone in our group seemed to get the hang of it almost immediately after her lesson. She did a great job of giving a group lesson, but then also getting each person set up and in the water individually — a great balance and comforting to get hands-​on assistance even in a group lesson setting. By the time we set off on our tour, we were comfortable. It was really cool to see areas by paddleboard that we wouldn’t otherwise have been able to access. It was a very easy pace and she even brought bottled waters along to offer along the way. Do not hesitate to sign up!

Can’t say enough good things about the experience! Vivian did a great job. She took me around the Bingham Islands and explained everything there is to know about the terrain and landscape. I highly recommend going whether you are a Florida native, which I am for the most part, or just visiting. Thank you!

Great first time paddle boarding with Vivian! She is very responsive and patient. Knowledgeable about awesome paddle boarding spots, I definitely recommend if you’re looking for fun water activities.

This was my first time trying SUP. Took a little searching to find an outfit that offered a lesson along with a tour and it was well worth the time spent doing so because learning about the board, the paddle, and how to stand up properly from an experienced professional (Vivian) is a whole lot better than being handed equipment from a surfer dude and told to «go have a nice time, man.» It was great having a tour guide like Vivian, who not only took us two novices to the beautiful and serene Bingham Islands, an Audubon Bird Sanctuary, but also provided info on the wildlife, the currents, the wind, and stories on how she came to do this for a living. It was an informative, wonderful, healthy 2.5 hour experience, and if you are thinking of giving it a try, you just can’t go wrong with Paddleboard Connection.

We had a great time today, For first time paddleboarders the on land instructions were wonderful. will definitely use Paddleboard Connection again.

We had a great time with Vivian and the other group of people we were paddling with. Vivian gave a great on land lesson and continued to support us, no matter what the learning curve was, out on the water. I would definitely recommend using them.

Vivian from Paddleboard connection is so friendly and warm that spending 2 hours with her for a Paddleboard lesson felt like hanging out with a good friend! She taught us important skills about paddleboading which made us as beginners feel so much more comfortable giving the sport a try! She’s flexible and can meet you almost anywhere to Paddleboard and it’s so convenient because she brings all the gear along. Thanks for an awesome experience Paddleboard connection!

Loved my first experience paddle boarding, thanks to Vivian. My Mother is visiting from GA and mentioned it was something she’d like to try so I purchased a couple of lessons. Mom was a little nervous at first but Vivian is a sweetheart and very patient. She was very informative and went over all the do’s and dont’s…my Mom was up within the first 5 minutes. One lesson is all we really needed to learn the correct way to maneuver the board and paddle. It was great exercise and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful morning on the water, or a better instructor. I will be joining Vivian again for another outing on the water, for sure!

I just wanted to say that Vivian made my day!!! I have absolutely No experience and No Balance for that fact… but we went out this morning with a group and felt very comfortable and learned through Vivian’s instructions that SUP is so much FUN and Exciting that I cant wait to do it again!!! Thank you Vivian for a relaxing, informative and beautiful morning.

There is absolute no question that Paddleboard Connection is the best stand up paddleboard rental in all of Palm Beach County and South Florida! Vivian (the owner) is a Master Licensed stand up paddleboard instructor and if you take a lesson from her you will get a great core workout without even knowing it while learning how to SUP properly and quickly. Vivian is also big on safety! You have to try a paddleboard Eco tour! They are fantastic because Vivian will not only take you to the most beautiful places in all of Palm Beach County to paddle, she will give you a wonderful lesson on your tour about the history, sea and wildlife for each area you paddle in. This is Sooo cool you will want to do another Eco tour to a different area ASAP!
Paddleboard Connections boards are all top quality, kept in excellent condition and extremely lightweight which will allow you to paddle both faster with more stability then from the other rental boards provided from different paddleboard companies in the area. Oh yeah one more thing, Paddleboard Connection has a ton of boards, so if you ever desire to have a picnic or a party at one of the beautiful parks on the waterway they have enough stand up paddleboards to accommodate a large party or group of people! I feel that they are the very best and now I’m totally hooked on stand up paddleboarding! Try this company out and you will soon be hooked as well!

Went out to snook island. It was very enjoyable. Great service. Vivian was very knowledgable and made me feel safe and comfortable in the water. Cant wait to do it again

I took a beginners SUP class with Vivian a week ago and went back for more today. For someone who isn’t at all athletic and barely a swimmer, I had my apprehensions about being out on the water. But one lesson with Vivian did away with much of the fear, and by the second trip, I’m loving SUPing! Safety is big on Vivian’s list so she arms you with all the knowledge and tips you need to know to keep yourself safe out there. She’s also very attentive to the best board to suit your height/​weight and will help you pick one that is most comfortable and stable for you. If you’re hesitant to try SUP out, rest assured that learning with Vivian is the best way to go about it — you can go at your own pace until you’re ready. Only two sessions in and I’m loving being out on the water, thanks to Vivian and Paddleboard Connection.
