I have always wanted to see a manatee and this tour was exactly what I had hoped for. We went to a nice quiet canal and there they were. At least 30 manatee backs sunning themselves. We had one particular manatee that was very curious and kept swimming under our boards and coming up pretty close to check us out. We could have been there all day with him I think. We also saw tons of fish and even a huge snapping turtle. If you want a personal nature experience this is the way to do it. Paddle boarding lets you get into places that you wouldn't normally be able to and with no prior experience. Don't be deterred by inexperience this is really great

Having a very enjoyable experience with Sobe Surf in January of 2013, I once again contacted Girard prior to my January 2014 Cocoa Beach vacation. I first scheduled a Manatee Tour. Girard set me up with Will who loaded a couple of nice inflatable SUP boards onto his vehicle and off we went to the best location for viewing some Manatees. The Manatees were everywhere to be seen. They quite often swam next to and underneath our boards. A very pleasurable experience! Next up was a SUP surf lesson. Girard met me mid-morning at the beach the following day. The first thing Girard did was to confirm my own personal SUP board was suitable for the conditions of the day. Before hitting the water, Girard spent several minutes informing me of safety tips, tips for reading the waves, surf etiquette, and paddling technique specific to the surf. Onto the water we went. Girard provided compliments on what I was doing well, and positive feedback on things that I need to work on. I had a great time! Thank you Girard and Will. I plan on another visit with Sobe Surf during my 2015 trip to Cocoa Beach.

This was our first time paddle boarding, we did some research and found sobe surf would be the best fit for us. Their location was beautiful and easy to find it made the whole experience drama free. we first did a private lesson off of their white sand beach to get every one up to speed, the instructors were very helpful and knowledgeable, they made learning easy and enjoyable. After this we went back for a nature tour. On our tour we saw a bunch of dolphins on the paddle and also encountered some extremely friendly and playful manatees. After only considering this as an option on our vacation, it soon became the highlight. it was a beautiful day, we got in a good exercise, bonded with the family and learned a lot about the areas wild life. we highly recommend girard and will at sobe surf and on our next trip back to cocoa we will definitely revisit them.
