Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had an excellent experience with Michelle. I've been paddling for some time and had some clear objectives for what I wanted from the lesson. Michelle clarified these ahead of time and pitched the lesson so that we achieved everything I wanted. I also learned a bunch of stuff I did not know I needed to know. Her teaching style is great, she put me at ease and I found it very easy to learn from her. I feel like I got tons from the lesson and I also had a great time while I was there. I would recommend Michelle to anyone interested in increasing their paddling skill, regardless of their experience.

Michelle, owner of Paddle SUP Company, is a fabulously knowledgable and experienced trainer and coach.

She gives you all the information you need, in easily consumable, bite-sized chunks of information and coaches you to help you perfect and master the skills you are learning. She will guide you at your pace, encouraging and coaching you as you gain more skills and confidence.

The Basingstoke Canal is a great place for beginners to learn since it is so sheltered and calm. I even fell in in March and it wasn't very cold!

I now regularly book Michelle and the Paddle SUP Company as I trust Michelle and enjoy her experience to give me the confidence I need to safely enjoy my new love for Paddleboarding!

Never been on a paddle board before but been wanting to try for a while. The 2hr beginners SUP lesson was a perfect introduction. I choose the package which includes rent of the board which was great. Car park is only a short walk from the canal. The instructor, Michelle was great, explaining everything at a good pace and in a easy to understand way, very patient. I can’t recommend paddle SUP Company enough, if your thinking of trying paddle boarding you can’t go booking a lesson.

My friend and I had a private lesson with Michelle as we are both beginner paddle boarders and wanted something to build confidence and to spend time with someone who knows what they are talking about! Michelle was absolutely brilliant and this was exactly what we needed to get us started. The time flew by and we picked up some very useful tips (on kit as well as technique), we even voluntarily ventured into the water at the end to perform the self rescue side of things. I'm so pleased we went with this company it was exactly what I had hoped for and we got everything we needed from the experience.

A brilliant hour spent under the instruction of Michelle, all we needed to do was turn up as Michelle supplied all the equipment needed to get us started on our paddle boarding journey. We had a great time learning how to enter the water safely, handle the board, paddle kneeling and then standing. I am so glad we booked a lesson and didn’t just hire the board as there is more skill to it than you might expect. We were also shown how to self rescue which cooled us down somewhat. We are all excited to maybe get our own boards (although it’s very reasonable to hire them from Michelle) and we’ll definitely be booking the confidence lesson which is the next step in learning.

My wife booked me a surprise lesson for my birthday as I’ve always wanted to see if I could do it.

Much to my wife’s disappointment I didn’t fall in, Michelle (my instructor) confirmed that I was a born natural to SUP 😎👍.

Michelle is an excellent coach/trainer for SUP. From start to finish Michelle was extremely knowledgable about all things SUP. I will be booking another session soon to go through the self rescue as I chose not to on the day just to disappoint the wife by not getting wet 😂👍😎.

If you are in the area and want to give SUP a go give Michelle a call and arrange a session.

I will also be buying my SUP from Paddle SUP Company when the time comes in the near future 😎🏄‍♂️👍

Flexibility and reassurance. Such an empowering experience in a relaxed, calm environment. I'm neither confident in water or well balance out of water so expected this to be a challenge. 'Chell was on hand without being pushy or dismissive and gave me the confidence to take things at my own pace

Michelle was a fantastic coach who really put me at ease from the moment we started. Instruction and coaching was excellent throughout and I had started this session thinking I was never going to be able to stand up … I did first time! Only coming a cropper to a willow tree who caught me unawares! It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and I’m already thinking about doing an improvers course with Michelle. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Lovely calm Autumn day and great to be back on the water. Michelle was as helpful as always which I needed after a gap. Canal and the flashes were very pretty with plenty of wildlife around. Would highly recommend paddle boarding and Michelle's tuition and company

It was my first time on a Paddleboard and I can honestly say I had a blast! Thank you to Michelle who's experience, knowledge and patience made my session one I could enjoy. The location is scenic and peaceful which allowed me time to unwind and enjoy this new experience. Michelle gave me the confidence and I was standing on my board in no time which felt like an accomplishment considering the nerves I had before, which dissipated in the company of Michelle. I look forward to going back and also paddle boarding with friends
