Reviews

I highly recommend Noell for paddle board lessons!! My friend and I set up a private lesson and we both had a blast. Noell was an awesome instructor who was kind, patient, and really fun! We got out on the water and had a wonderful afternoon on the lake. If you’re looking for something fun and new to try, I recommend reaching out to Noell. Can’t wait to do it again!
