Maggie was awesome! - Our guide Maggie made us feel safe, comfortable and gave the best instructions. Our family were all standing up for almost the whole time. It was SO MUCH fun! Johnson Lake was calm and good for beginner SUP.

So much fun! - The intro to SUP was amazing! Ryan was a fantastic instructor and we were up standing on our boards in no time! So much fun! I would recommend this to anyone (and I’d also recommend the wet suit rental if you think you’ll be in the water at any point)

Great instructors! - Awesome experience made so because the instructors were such good teachers. I wasn't sure it would happen but we both stood up and felt confident after a short while. They also kept adding new skills so that it kept things interesting. Highly recommend!
Google pin wasn't accurate - you need to keep driving past where it says to stop until you reach the bottom where the lake is.
