The guides continued to engage everyone throughout.  During the breaks we just stopped and rested but the guides showed us some tricks we could attempt.  My oldest daughter did a 180 degree turn which was impressive for her first attempt. All in all it was a great first real experience in SUP.  The guides are the make or break point for it and they exceeded our expectations.  I know they do these tours all the time and they even  had one right after ours but they never made it seem like it was routine for them...they made the tour seem unique and fresh and lively.  If you're thinking about doing this experience, you definitely should.  They'll take care of you.  They post plenty of pics on their Facebook page and it is very reflective of the good times people have.  But get there a little early, the parking area can get filled up fast. read less

Btw... the shop is the last one in the plaza away from Trader Joe's. This was my first time paddle boarding and it was not bad. Got a 3 minute crash course of the basics. They load from a dock. The guy stabilized the board while I got onto the board on my knees. After getting a feel for balance, I was able to stand. The lake is pretty with water snake, fish, blue dragonflies, and water lilies. It does get a bit warm that you want to get there first thing in the morning! read less

They instructed well and entertained us during the “sit down” breaks by doing cartwheels and hand stands and encouraging everyone to try themselves. The staff was very interactive and knowledgeable.

This was the first time we'd been so we were a little nervous about it, but it wasn't as difficult as we thought and it was so fun. Ned, Tom, and all the instructors are very friendly, outgoing, and knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable. They take the time to make sure you're paddling properly and are very patient. We did the 8:45 Saturday morning friendly first timer tour from Dinky Dock and it was the perfect amount of time for us. We plan to be back with our kids! read less

They actually let us swap our paddleboard rental for a tandem kayak after our dog kept trying to swim back and forth between our boards in  a panic. The location was very surprising as the lake is hidden behind all of the businesses. Once we were on the water though you almost forget you're in a big city! Overall great time and we will definitely be back! 10/10 read less

Good Equipment! I have done paddle board rentals with 3 other companies and Paddle Board Orlando is by far THE BEST! Great customer Service by ALL the staff. Personal feedback from the owner. And good equipment. I felt safe while being encouraged. They took pictures for me because my skill level was inadequate as a student. They provided water proof safe place for my car keys. They built in rest breaks. Location was calm and beautiful. On a scale of 1-5 they are a 10! This is great for everyone including my special needs niece! read less

If you are new to the area and looking for a fun activity also recommend PBO! Uncle Ned is a top notch small business owner. He's got a terrific staff including Tenacious Tom who leads most outings. My husband and I have purchased boards from the store and love them. They have great events like Sunset Paddles during the week and special weekend adventure to Blue Springs and Wekiva. If you've been curious about paddle boarding or looking for some new people with the same interests check out PBO! read less

On Memorial Day, I was able to book a reservation for two paddleboard rentals for 2 hours on the same day! Super easy to book on their website and plenty of options available. Plus, I've done some research, they're one of the cheapest available spots for paddleboard rentals! (Cheaper than Groupon!!!)

We met them about 15 minutes at their cute storefront and they prepped our rentals on the lake right outside their back door. They told us they would secure our bags and our shoes and we're even polite enough to give us a short private lesson on how to use the paddleboards for my first timer friend. They set them out for us on the lake and let us step into them without even getting in the water.

At the moment that it was my friends turn to get on the board, she was incredibly uncomfortable with the idea of paddleboarding and the risk of falling off and jumped back into the dock fairly quickly. Thanks staff was incredibly friendly and understanding of her hesitation and tried to reassure her that she could try it sitting down. We almost left as I figured our reservation was for paddleboarding and they asked if we would like to go kayaking instead! She jumped at the idea, she was far more comfortable going kayaking. Without any hesitation, no extra charges or any waiting, we had two kayaks set up for us and away we went!

The lake was beautiful, with a few little side canals to explore and overhanging trees. Like paddling through the little mermaid lagoon scene. We had a blast enjoying the gorgeous weather, the glass clear water and seeing all the stunning wildlife.

Once we arrived back, they had someone come meet us to take out kayaks and help us out onto the dock. We jumped out, headed into the building to cool off and get our things and they offered us ice cold bottles of water and handed us our belongings and offered us a cupcake! I imagine the cupcake may have simply been because of a holiday. (cupcake not guaranteed is what I'm saying)

They managed to turn what would have been an embarrassing moment for my buddy into one that she wants to do over and over again! Orlando Paddleboarding is our freaking jam! read less

My bridesmaids and I enjoyed paddle boarding during a warm Friday afternoon. Since there was a large group of us, the employees had set out paddle boards prior to our arrival and were ready for us early. All we had to do was sign a waiver and go over instructions and we were ready to party! We were a little over our time due to the wind and the employees were super understanding. Since they didn't have a group after us, they let us stay out nearly 3 hours for free!

Paddleboard Orlando sits on gorgeous Lake Killarney in Winter Park. While my party and I chose to paddleboard around the lake, the company also offers guided tours of Weikiva River and New Smyrna, as well as paddleboard yoga and kayaking adventures. They are professional and are flexible, especially with larger groups. I loved our experience with them and will definitely be going back for more fun! read less
