I was in the area of Lake Arthur (Moraine State Park) visiting family and looking for something new to try. Myself (50+) and my two teen boys tried paddleboarding and LOVED it. As everyone says, Ian (our guide), is the nicest. He made the experience really fun. He had my boys all hyped up and they were trying to keep up with him and catch him. Ian taught us some fun things at the end of the outing such as running starts and back-of-board pivots. We had relay races with the three of us, Ian, and a father and son who were also in our outing. My boys had so much fun. My youngest says he wants to join a paddleboard team and spend the whole summer competing.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
Ian is awesome guide. He makes everyone from the novices to people who have done paddleboarding before feel included. You can go at your own level. It was a great experience. Very relaxing on the paddle board.
Ian and Julie ensured that we had a great team building event on Lake Arthur. Everyone learnt quickly, had endless fun and we discovered bays and inlets.Great guides, great place and great for the soul.

Attended the surf class with Ian and all I can say it was the most fun I have had on the water. I have SUPed for a couple of years now on flatwater and really enjoyed it. But after taking the surf class, I am hooked on river surfing. I drove over three hours to take the course and I would do it again. I was not disappointed and I am still talking about it a few days after the class. I can't believe what an awesome experience it was. Highly recommended! Ian is a true professional and you could tell that he is passionate about river surfing and enjoys passing his stoke on to others. If you want to talk gear, Ian knows his stuff. It was great to get his opinion on boards, paddles, etc. I would have no problems buying a board from Ian and know that he is not selling me any old board. He is selling me the right board. From experienced paddlers to complete novices, we all had fun and Ian had all of us on the wave! What am amazing day!

My boyfriend and I just took the SUP yoga workshop with Ian (surfSUP owner) and Ryan (yoga instructor) at Lake Arthur and we had a great day! We had done yoga before but never SUP, but it was easy to learn and after a few minutes we were able to paddle along just fine. Ian was a great guide, he pointed out cool nature sights, gave really good tips for beginners and was such a friendly person it would be impossible to not have a great time! Ryan, was an experienced yoga instructor and offered a variety of poses at different levels. Yoga on a SUP board was a bit harder than I thought it would be, but the added balance challenge was fun and since it was about 90 degrees I didn't mind falling in the water a few times during the harder poses! As I was booking I thought the price ($50 each) was a little high, but I figured I would splurge for a day. After taking the workshop I would say the price was totally worth the experience. Ian provided everything, had the boards set up and at the water when we arrived and packed everything up for us at the end. He even provided water (something I didn't think to bring...) for us which was very nice because we were out for about 2.5 hours. All in all a great day! Thanks Ian!
