"The staff and equipment at bluet SUP WERE TOP NOTCH: you have a choice of hard or inflatable, and type of flotation device (if you’re over 21). The staff was patient as they explained the pros and cons, and were very patient and accommodating. The location is idyllic: plenty of coves and nooks to explore, or just float along with the current and see where life takes you. Cannot recommend highly enough."

"I have taken the beginner class and done the 10 mile paddle! The beginner class was great and very helpful in teaching basic skills, turns, balance, paddling, equipment, and how to get on and off your board. The ten mile paddle was a fun way to start the week. We took several photo stops along the way, there was a rope swing near the Old Alton Bridge, plenty of scenery, and a great breakfast at the end! I can’t wait for my next time out on the water!"
