SoBe Surf gave us a great first time paddle boarding experience. The guide explained how to start and stay balanced. The water wasn't all that deep for most of the trip, so you could just jump off if you felt yourself starting to fall. Life jackets were available but only required for younger children. The guide told us lots of fun facts about the area and the animals. We saw lots of manatees very close up, and we also had a dolphin come into the little inlet where we were. It was exciting to see a dolphin so close to shore! The guide takes pictures during the trip so you don't have to worry about taking a camera. My only suggestion would be that the guide should make sure and take a few pictures of your group together or at least each of you on the paddle boards as you get started. We shared our trip with another family, and there are very few pictures of just us which I would have liked to have.

Girard the owner, was super nice. We booked a kayak ecotour on the Banana River (Sykes?) river/lagoon. It was just okay. Jordan was our tour guide and it seemed like she could have known a bit more about the natural history of the region (it was an ecotour after all). I love to have a guide give as much info as possible (birds, plants, fish, ecology, geology....) and have my kids learn this stuff. She knew about manatees but not much else (like birds). Also, she was so far from us most of the time that I couldn't hear what she was saying. Also, this Sykes/Banana River lagoon is bordered on the SW side by a airport/run-way and it seemed like small planes were constantly taking off and landing - which took away from an otherwise quiet, peaceful paddle. Perhaps Girard would have been a better guide(?). Next time, I would probably just take the kids to a bridge or something to get a better look at manatees because they were hard to see from the kayak and the tour didn't go over much else than manatees. Maybe if you were on a board, it was a better tour. So, just okay.

The owner was very accommodating, kind, and knowledgeable. Our tour guide was friendly, funny, and took us to see the manatees that came right up to the paddle boards. Tour guide even took pictures so we can enjoy the time more. Highly recommended. For beginners up to experienced paddle boarders. Quality boards.
