Uncle Ned and his crew are a blast. Ned's instructions at the beginning were spot on useful. Fun loving and chill lap around the lakes. Would totally hang out with Ned. Thanks from Chicago (Kissimmee)! - 9/19/2022

The instructors/ leaders are Ned, Tom and Hope and they are incredible. They do not leave you alone and pace the tour perfectly while teaching you along the way even a few little tricks. I had the most amazing day and recommend this group for every level (beginners you won’t regret it). 😎You Guys have the right Vibe, fun and pace. Thank You! Hope, lady you calmed the storm before It could even begin in me and I KNOW that friendly tone and aura you have helped. A friend and I decided to do something different. So glad we did!!! Excellent, great thing to do in Winter Park. read less - 9/03/2022

Ned and Eric were so fun and knowledgeable, teaching us not only proper paddling technique but about the ecosystem around us. Hard to believe this little oasis exists 30 min north of downtown Orlando. Had a tasty lunch from the food truck as well. Overall, a wonderful experience. Would love to come back and paddle some more! read less - 8/30/2022

The SUP and Swim experience at Wekiva was absolutely incredible. Our tour guide, Uncle Ned, was great - he was friendly, funny, and was great at pointing out the wildlife. We enjoyed seeing the gators chilling on logs, and loved the swim through the rocks at the springs. If you are in Florida and want something a little different to do, then this is for you. read less - 8/12/2022

I needed to get out in the sunshine and meet people. I started with a Friendly First Timers lesson and tour at Dinky Dock. I was hooked! Not only do they make it super simple by teaching you how to paddle but they keep the group together so that no one is ever left behind. They make the day awesome with humor and honestly I felt like I had found my hobby after just one tour. I continued to paddle just about every weekend for a year and a half. I got to know the owner, Ned, as well as several of his employees and always had a blast with them. I think the only paddle I didn't do at that time were the travel adventure ones outside of the Orlando area. I've told myself I will do one eventually. One of my favorites is the Wekiva Island paddle as it is beautiful. I've never had a bad time and even after I moved to another state, I always come back and paddle when I visit my family. I cannot recommend Paddleboard Orlando enough! Whether you are a local or an out of towner, I think you should check them out and go on a paddle, or two, or three! read less - 7/24/2022
