The staff at East Coast Paddler (ECP) are all very friendly and extremely helpful.
I joined an ECP lesson back in January 2011 and really enjoyed my experience. The staff taught me step-by-step how to paddle. I love meeting people and water sports, so SUP was the perfect new challenge for me.
I took another lesson and then joined the weekly Wednesday night SUP get-togethers. I was able to meet lots of beginner and experienced SUP people, all brought together by the staff at ECP.
After this, I moved to Japan, but I still keep in touch with the staff at ECP and ask for their advice from time to time. They helped me chose a SUP board in Japan, and give me some ideas about staying warm in the winter on the sea.
I recommend ECP for their professionalism and kindness. SUP is a great sport! I am looking forward to seeing the ECP team when I visit New Zealand in the summer.
