We went out this morning with Chuck in New Smyrna Beach along Callalisa Creek and into the Indian River. I had been on a paddleboard once before, and my friend and her 11-year old daughter had no experience. He gave great instructions from start to finish, was very calm, relaxed, kind and personable. He had us set the pace so we meandered along and saw lots of dolphins in the river and also in the creek. We had a great time! Notes: I wore a bathing suit and cover up and sun block--the sun is hot! The board has an elastic tie so you can tie down your shoes, water bottle, etc. I wore a stringbag backpack and put my wallet, car keys and phone in a ziploc inside and then put a piece of pool noodle in it so if it did end up in the water it would float.

We plan to have them take us to the coast where the dolphin swim!…

Chuck is the best! We can't get enough of Chuck. He taught me so many cool things about alligators and he is like a member of our family now. Thanks for the memories Chuck!

My daughter and I went on a guided tour of the Wekiva River on Stand Up Paddle Boards with Chuck (the owner of the company). We were a bit nervous after seeing the Youtube videos of this trip. Chuck was very knowledgeable and informative of this area. He was on time and made the trip very enjoyable. We ended up not seeing any alligators, but my other two daughters on shore did. I would go through this company again, especially with comparing the prices of the other companies.…
