The club sessions gave my kids and me so much. Being part of a surfing community, watching their confidence grow, and knowing they were supervised by trained instructors gave real peace of mind.

Last summer with the Paddler Pack was a fantastic experience. Our kids are so confident in the water now, and the dedication and stoke of the instructors rubbed off on everyone — parents included.

My favourite thing was kayaking. At first my daughter thought the kayak might tip over, but once she got the hang of it, it was amazing. She loved snorkelling and was stoked with what she saw underwater. She really enjoyed being part of the big group and would definitely do it again.

Our kids adored the Dolphin sessions last summer. These are not normal surf lessons — the instructors are out there with the kids, making sure everyone gets one-to-one time, has fun, and never feels pressure or competition
