Personaised lessons to your personal needs and wants. We start your session in a still water area, as you gain your confidence in balance, co-ordination, paddle stroke, combination of skillfull turns, and paddling effortlessly! SUP is an activity you can safely do in a lake, river, or flat water expance - anywhere. You don't even have to surf, but all skills are tuaght to take you 'out the back', when ready. Brad speaks mainly Japanese, a little French, German, Italian, Indonesian, Thai, Mandarin and Arab. He also 'signs' - AUSLAN - Australian Sign Language. Disabled are most welcome.
