    Thoroughly enjoyed my SUP clinic with Sam at paddle fest 2024, though I had been on a "float" on moving water previously, I had not developed the skills to safely and efficiently navigate a class II river.

    Sam is very knowledgeable, friendly and puts safety first, all while keeping it fun.

    Since taking this clinic I have made a lot of progression in my confidence on the water and I highly recommend anyone who is considering getting into stand up paddle boarding to take this clinic and you'll come away with skills that'll ensure you get the most from your paddling adventures.

    Brilliant - me and my teenage son had the best time ever doing the paddle out to the waterfall.

    Bit of wind so required some effort on the way there but totally doable and worth it for the scenery and the stop at the waterfall was idyllic with the added bonus of sweat treats and fizzy drinks. Samuel was a brilliant guide and super friendly and encouraging.

    Cannot recommend highly enough - book !!!

    If you’re in Revelstoke and want a top-notch paddleboarding experience, Samuel is your go-to guide!

    I recently joined his tour and had a fantastic time. Samuel’s enthusiasm and expertise were evident from the start.

    He provided excellent equipment, clear instructions, and ensured everyone felt confident on the water. A highlight was our break at a secluded spot where Samuel had thoughtfully provided snacks and refreshments.

    It was the perfect chance to relax and soak in the stunning views. Samuel’s friendly demeanor and dedication to making the tour enjoyable for everyone made the experience special.

    If you’re in Revelstoke, don’t miss the chance to paddle with Samuel. It’s an adventure you’ll remember! Thanks, Samuel, for an unforgettable day on the water!

    My partner and I did a private tour with Sam on Revelstoke lake. Sam took us on the lake to some beautiful hidden waterfalls and little gems. Sam was kind, professional and very knowledgeable.

    Highly recommend
