Our family of four booked the Weedon Island Preserve Tour with Mike and Aimee. Mike was very accomodating with our tour date and time. We spent a wonderful afternoon learning how to paddle board and exploring the serene lagoon waters and mangrove tunnels. We saw several jumping mullets and stingrays. Mike was very knowledgeable and passionate about the sport and... More

My cousin was in town visiting and I was looking into doing something neither of had done before. Picked Urban Kai based on reviews and was not disappointed. Took the lesson with Mike at Weedon Island Preserve. Mike was really patient with us as he took us through the basics. Once we were on our boards, had an amazing time... More

We recently returned from a two week Vacation in the Orlando area. We planned this activity to escape the theme parks for a day and experience something that was "off the beaten path". This paddle-boarding tour ended up being the highlight of our whole trip! We were initially worried about the lengthy drive to the Tampa area - it was... More

Mike and Aimee were great to work with! We took the SUP 101 class on Saturday morning at 10:30 on Davis Island. None of us had ever tried SUP before and were very nervous to try it. Mike began the lesson with the basics skills and tricks to SUP. Because of his introductory lessons on the water, it was easy... More

The team at Urban Kai is top notch... It started with a gift from my mom for my dad and I to go out and take a lesson in SUP with the Urban Kai team, and I was instantly hooked. After just one lesson, Mike and team showed me what a great time SUP can be to blow off steam... More

Took a 2-hour private lesson & tour today from Mike. Super fun! Mike's great at pointing out wildlife and is very enthusiastic about the sport. It's clear he likes his job and he likes his clients. He took a great deal of his own time to make sure I had the best experience possible (checking tide tables, etc). I recommend. More

I went to Tampa with my 9-year-old daughter for a weekend. Neither of us had ever been paddleboarding before. I am so glad we picked Urban Kai for our first experience! From inquiring to booking to the lesson, everyone I spoke to was very nice and helpful. The instructor, Mike, was amazing. He taught everyone in our group the techniques... More

I moved to Tampa recently and was very happy to find Urban Kai. I had wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) since I saw people doing it on the Charles River in Cambridge, MA. I signed up for a lesson and met Mike and Amy at the southern end of Davis Island on a beautiful Saturday morning. Mike provided fantastic... More

Everyone was so relaxing and helpful. The water was peaceful and quiet. First time experience and couldn't have asked for a better Sunday morning. Quick learn and no pressure. Small group of 5 made it individual experience. Thanks for a great morning and ride! More
