We had booked a Paddle slot with Barbara at 4 and we were lucky enough to be only 4 with her. Despite the weather (rain and risk of thunderstorm), thanks to Barbara, we who had no experience were able to enjoy 2 hours of paddle in a new way. The meeting place is close to where we enter the water. Barbara spoke extremely good English, was able to explain perfectly the ground rules and how to maneuver (this on land before the course began and also once in the water). She was with one of her colleagues and so we were always surrounded by the two women. As soon as I fell (very often on my board), Barbara came to check that everything was okay and was always good advice. Similarly, when I fell into the water, off my board, as I finished the session. Honestly, this course in the rain seems to have been better than if we had done it in the big sun. Lots of laughter and memories! Thanks to her for this experience and the photos we received the next day!
