The Instructor’s just blend perfectly together. Tom will guide you on and Scott is the laid back one and just go with the flow. So laid back stayed back make sure everyone is safe and accounted for. I would love to maybe someday take a paddle trip with them. read less - 5/20/2021

This is a great way to be safe and active during the pandemic and check out your interest BEFORE you plunk down that money for the board. PBO runs lots of other classes as well. I am a local, and this experience will give you a great look at the non theme park side of Orlando. read less - 5/09/2021

Tom, Jenna, and Ned coached me through my very first paddle board experience with kindness and humor. I was up on my feet a little less than half the time because my knees were a little wobbly, but once I adjusted my stance forward to the balls of my feet, I was paddling! It was a gorgeous day on the water, and I cannot wait to go again! Check these guys out on Facebook, and my picture is there, standing in the board in a victory pose. Yaaaaasssssss! read less - 5/08/2021

The instructors were professional, caring, and funny. Even though it was just our first time in Orlando and first time paddle board at all, we had absolutely the best time. The afternoon with these guys/gals made our short 3 day trip and the only regret was that we didn't have time to book another advanced trip. Will be back!! read less - 5/01/2021

We had the absolute best time. It's clear that Ned and staff really know what they're doing. We felt completely safe, even though we are beginners. They are also some of the friendliest people I've met. I would recommend this to anyone in the Orlando area that would like to get away from the theme parks for a few hours. This will be the highlight of our trip. read less - 3/26/2021

Had a blast and lots of laughs with Ned and Jenna. You can tell they love people and have a heart for introducing folks to a new sport! “Shooting the crack” is an experience not to be missed and unique to Wekiva Springs. The boards are stable and fun to paddle, ANYONE can do it! Give it a try! Before you know it you will be joining this crew again and again! Ned goes above and beyond for his paddlers and even helped locate a set of lost car keys for us! We will be back again for another adventure soon (minus the key issue haha). read less - 3/11/2021
