What people say about John and his courses:

Windsurfing - great fun for me as a first timer.

Thanks to John I managed to spend some time sailing and less time falling off!

Very generous with his time to run so many sessions. Very calm.

Windsurfing was very well taught and I benefitted from all the tuition and practice on the beach during windy days, It was a joy to put all the practice together on the last day.

Kayaking with John was fun.

Paddle Boarding - chilled and excellent.

John was lovely and patient. After many setbacks due to this I’ve improved at kayaking.
