Rainy days spent in the office, planning exciting changes for next year 🚤
We spent a beautiful hour out on the kayaks for the first time yesterday. It was great fun and so relaxing. Such a friendly team as well. Would definitely recommend if you want to try something a little different
We had a family session learning to paddle board and kayak last weekend. We had the best time ever!!! Thank you
The team are great and give you real confidence in the water. I loved my SUP lesson and have taken my two boys today, who also loved it.
Thank you to Mark at Mersea Island Watersports for a fantastic beginners kayaking session on Saturday. Lovely guys and it is such value for money! I highly recommend them and I cant wait to book again.
Thank you all for the amazing, party for my two they had such a good time. Highly recommend these guys for birthday parties they do a great job thank you
Teenager class on a Tuesday night - fantastic value for money & a fun experience in a beautiful location! Thank you - we highly recommend
Quality staff, quality gear and very good guidance.
Once you are done with the training you can be left to go off and explore the harbour. In our case, going onto the muddy island opposite. Brilliant will be returning.
My Son and I had a 2hr SUP lesson with Jack and we LOVED it ! I am a complete water sport novice (and a bit of a wuss around water) even so, Jack made me feel completely at ease and safe. His excellent instruction and calm manner meant the lesson whizzed by and we got to see so much of the sea and creeks. Can’t wait to get back on the board.I Highly recommend everyone to have a go with this company ....Fantastic experience, Thank you Jack .
I have just returned from a taster session after a recommendation from a friend and more recently the guys at Fluid Lines. I am totally buzzing. After a shoulder injury brought a halt to surfing for me, being on the water and pain free tonight has really re-ignited the fire and has now given me a new fix to look forward to. Mark was outstanding; he is clearly very experienced as an instructor. I was up standing and paddling quite confidently within the first 10 minutes. I did fall a few times and immediately knew why because I had done what he told me to avoid, but I was learning quickly. Anyway, I really enjoyed it and will be visiting MIW again soon and I look forward to learning more and becoming proficient enough to join the group sessions. Thanks again Mark and MIW. Anyone considering trying SUP in the area, message or phone MIW, book it and get yourself down there; you will have a blast and you will be hooked!
I had my first ever SUP lesson with Jack today, I totally loved it! He was a great teacher with lots of patience and I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Everyone at Mersea Island Watersport was really friendly and professional and I would recommend them to anyone thinking about doing it. Thank you for a great morning!
Highly recommended!!!! I had an absolutely brilliant time out on the paddle boards with my husband yesterday for our anniversary. It was our first time giving it a go and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. We'll definitely be doing it again, I think my husband is hooked!
Great lesson today I’m a total beginner and I really am hooked . After a amazing lesson with a great instructor who was very friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable.
Cannot wait to go back and learn more .
Highly recommended! For a fun day out . Great value for money. Cannot wait to get some more lessons .
First windsurf lesson today. Great safe spot and awesome friendly tuition by Jack. He knows his stuff!! Looking forward to the next lesson. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic lesson paddleboarding! they guys were so nice and patient with us all even had one of my children on their board when my friend struggled 100% recommend anyone have a go!!
Fab little gem of a place! We did kayaking with the kids and had a superb time �. The lovely family who run it looked after us really well. We’ll be back very soon!
Brilliant fun, laid back, accommodating, helpful and a great day out for all ages. Thank you to the whole team!
Awesome evening on the water tonight. First time kayaking & I loved it. We went out as a large group of paddle boarders & one double kayak. I’m hooked - will be back - thank you for a great evening ���
An excellent experience. Great staff who interacted with the whole family and made the kids feel safe on the water. Thanks to Jack and everyone else at MIW.
Absolutely fantastic introduction to paddle boarding. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! Matt and Jack were brilliant instructors. I am about to book a longer session for next week!
