I took my family to green dragon today for paddle boarding lesson. Tony was fantastic right from the start with his clear but in depth instructions on how to paddle board. Once we were on the water his patience shone through by helping build the confidence of our two boys who were both very nervous. Before we knew it the we’re both standing up like they’d been doing it for years. I’ve had paddle boarding lessons in the past but this was head and shoulder above what I’ve been taught previously. I would 100% recommend Green Dragon to any one. Thank you for a fantastic day.

We had never done any type of Water sports before taking some paddle boarding lessons with Tony. He was very patient with my daughter who was not confident in the water. By the end of the session she was standing up and enjoying it all. We have since bought our own boards and it's opened up a new world for us. Top bloke and don't be too proud to take a lesson, it will cut short lots of bad habbits that would have caused us to cut short our desire to paddle board.

We had a lovely experience learning to paddle board with Green Dragon adventures. 3 adults and 3 kids, after a couple of hours of excellent training each we were comfortable to go out and about, feeling safe and confident on the water. Trainer Tony Pain is a humble living legend, and a wonderful person too. Green Dragon also has a shop on the Bala high street just before across from the petrol garage. They’ve got loads of great products at reasonable prices.
If you’re keen to get into paddle boarding (which is an awesome boardsport) I suggest you get a board from the shop and have some lessons at lake Bala, then enjoy a week or more exploring the scenic lake. Early mornings are the best. It will be well worth your time and money. An experience of a lifetime for almost anyone to enjoy.
Special thanks to Tony for teaching me to paddle board. You have been an inspiration and I look forward to the adventures paddle boarding will bring into my life.

Great SUP beginner lesson. Our instructor was a great teacher and really patient with us as we learned the ropes. Soon we were all paddling with confidence. We still had a 2 hour session (even though we were late!) Which we were all grateful for as it really did make all the difference. Would definitely recommend for all ages .

Great value beginners SUP session in the most beautiful setting. My friend and her 13 year old had a fantastic afternoon with all kit and expert tuition provided. They have access to a private part of shoreline away from the crowds with easy parking. Highly recommended.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Tony for giving us a great first experience paddleboarding on the scenic Lake at bala. Hes an absolute gent and has a great sense of humour. He got us on the water in no time and gave us all the necessary skills to make us efficient on the water. I would highly recommend Tony and his helping hand Clarke , if your after a session of paddleboarding or even hiring kayaks... Tony is the man.

Thanks ever so much and we definitely will be returning for another great day.
