Just tried paddle boarding for the first time today and with Tim's great instructions we were able to really learn all the main techniques to the point when you feel comfortable performing all the main activities in no time! Me and my friends even raced each other a couple times. Great experience!

Amazing customer service, instruction, and guidance. Tim is so patient and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. It makes the experience that much more pleasurable. We were all beginners and a couple of my friends were not exactly comfortable in the ocean water. Tim made everyone feel so comfortable & safe. I actually live in San Diego but can't wait to coordinate with my friends in the area for a 3rd trip up to LA to try the Sunset Tour. Highly recommend Paddle Method.

I have paddled with Tim and Paddle Method four times now. He is a wonderful paddle boarding instructor. He is always supportive and kind. He is very knowledgable and safety conscience, but super fun as well! Tim makes sure you know exactly how to paddle properly with the correct technique, so I can go out and come back in through the waves safely. You will most certainly have a terrific experience. Stand up paddle boarding is a great activity for all ages. I have taken out my parents, grandparents and friends. I'm looking forward to paddling again soon with Tim, and introducing my friends to the sport. I highly recommend Tim for any paddle boarding activity

I had my first paddle boarding experience on July 5, 2014. it was amazing!!!! Tim was super flexible, I called for a same day appointment/lesson for a group of 4. he gave me directions over the phone and said he would be out at location all day for whenever we were able to make it. we got there, checked in and changed. he provided an on land lesson showing proper technique and form and explaining the parts of the board which was really helpful since all four of us were newbies! once in the water he was completely present and helpful, correcting technique and offering tips. I actually fell off my board and he was quick to paddle over to me and make sure I was okay and then encourage me back onto the board and off I went. I would definitely recommend Tim and his team for newcomers to the experience and he also offers tours and paddle boarding experiences out of different areas for those that are more experienced or more adventurous ;) I can't wait for my next paddle boarding lesson and possible tour!! Definitely check out Tim and his team at Paddle Method...I highly recommend it!!!

Five stars (Woohoo! As good as it gets!) is not enough! Tim deserves hundreds of stars! I am a very active out-door person and paddle boarding has always been an interest of mine. Not only did Tim accommodate my vacation time and short notice, he was so excited to be there and it really made the difference. His simple instructions and great positive coaching attitude made my paddle boarding experience amazing!

I did SUP for the first time last week with Paddle Method. I loved it! I went out with a few friends for a nighttime paddle. It was so lovely to be out in the bay in the evening, away from the noise of the city...It was relaxing yet invigorating at the same time, if that's at all possible. I highly recommend it! Pro's: - Tim is an awesome instructor - super knowledgable and really nice - Reasonable rates - they have really good packages available - Paddle Method is a smaller shop, so you get totally personalized service - Parking is easy for Paddle Method, unlike many other places in MDR - just park at Jamaica Bay Inn, the hotel right next to Paddle Method - Tours - I so loved my evening paddle boarding experience, I'm going to book the SUP tour in Paradise Cove. Con's: - Parking is easy, but if I remember correctly it cost like $10 at hotel - Tim is the main guy, so you have to book around his schedule and he gets really busy in summer - book as soon as possible All in all, I recommend Paddle Method - great experience!
