Reviews

Gemma:
“I had my very first session with 121sup. I was very excited and nervous to try something new. Debbie was very welcoming and easy to get on with.After she went through all the safety advice and guidance she showed me how to get on and off the board safely. I felt at ease and she really encouraged me. We got onto the water on the canal and I felt really proud of myself being able to stand up paddle.It was a lovely session and the fact it was 121 really helped my confidence. Debbie was very attentive and I had a great little work out too. Thank you so much. I can’t wait for the next session.”

Faye:
“Debbie’s a natural teacher, who responded to all my questions and wobbles on the board like a pro. I got lots of nice feedback and encouragement and feel like I’ve learned loads. Thanks for the lesson Debbie!”

Jen:
“Successful SUP on Bridgewater canal at Sale, and a corker of a day too. First time for the chaps, who were straight up thanks to a bit of expert tuition from Debbie at 121SUP. I learned loads on technique, it’s all about the practice now...bring on the summer.”

Janine:
“What an amazing experience! We’ve had two sessions with Debbie and can’t wait for the next. Through clear, knowledgable instruction, it doesn’t take long to feel confident and enjoy the activity. First session was me and grandson, aged 11 and the second session my five year old grandson joined us too. Such a fabulous time, can’t recommend 121SUP highly enough.”

Jason:
Had my first lesson yesterday with Debbie from 121SUP. Was great fun, and learned much more than I could have imagined. Debbie made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend everyone having a few lesson when starting out. I’d say if you’re within an hour of Manchester, 121SUP is a must. A family had just finished their second lesson when I arrived and loved it. I’ve already booked my second...”

Sarah:“Thank you for the SUP lesson. Both me and Charlotte loved it! Great instructions, loads of tips on techniques to gain more confidence and a great chinwag afterwards!
Definitely be back hopefully with own board next time! Thank you. “

Terri:
“Well what can I say? Not being the most confident I battle with my head more than anything. Telling me I’m a failure, can’t do things! Well this was probably my biggest fear. Debbie makes you believe in yourself, instilled a confidence that no one has ever done. I cannot wait to return. Thank you Debbie. Amazing!”

Ralph:
“Having started SUP’ing recently, I decided to get a lesson and was recommended to 121sup. Great choice. During first lesson Debbie was very patient, clearly very skilled but an excellent instructor with a natural ability to put clients at ease. I learned far more than expected for a first lesson; great value for money. I will certainly be back for more, and would recommend 121Sup to all, without hesitation! Great location if you are in the Manchester area; worth the travel if you are further away.”
