The instructors were knowledgeable, kind, and extremely patient. They gave me all the confidence I needed to be good at paddle boarding. I had so much fun. I will definitely be back.
Mike is amazing! We booked about a two-hour paddle boarding session with him for only $25, and it was such a great experience. He is an excellent teacher—patient, knowledgeable, and really passionate about what he does. He made everything easy to understand and made us feel comfortable the entire time. He’s incredibly down-to-earth, kind, and just a genuinely great person to be around. You can tell he truly enjoys teaching and wants everyone to have a good time. The two hours flew by because we were having so much fun. We would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone looking to try paddle boarding!
Very friendly and easy to work with. We are looking forward to going back again and trying the kayaking!
Michael did an awesome job! I learned to stand and paddle immediately without even realising I’m doing it in the middle of the bay confidently! Thanks Michael for your accommodation and patience.
Such a great experience and the instructors were so nice. Definitely recommend you do this if you’re thinking about it
Michael and Sean were awesome! Their helpful tips and friendly personalities added to our very enjoyable experience. It was the first time paddle boarding for my son, my daughter and I, and although we had our fair share of dunks into the water while trying to balance on our boards, it was so much fun. It helped that the water was so warm. I highly recommend Chula Vista Water Sports!
The instructions were simple and easy to follow. I felt confident before I even got in the water. It was so much fun and so easy (thanks to calm water). I’d do it again.
We appreciated how flexible and super helpful they were. It was a fun family experience. The water was perfect. Swim shoes are a must.
I didn’t get to enjoy this activity. I was having trouble getting the address and details for the meet up point. Let them know of the issues and didn’t get any response for any assistance. Prior or even after the time the activity was suppose to take place.
