2 Stand Up Guys

When it comes to stand-​up paddleboarding, I would guess the quality of one’s instructor is probably evident by how dry one is at the end of one’s first-​ever lesson. By that measure, I just as well could have worn a tuxedo to learn paddle boarding from Matt and 2 Stand Up Guys: I – and the 10-​year-​olds I was with — stepped off our boards as pristine as we began.
Matt’s instruction is simple, clear, and relaxed; and his gear is perfect for novices like us, and was sized perfectly to us as well. Out on the water, he was quiet (just right for the calm of the morning) but encouraging with gentle pointers. In scheduling those first lessons as well as rentals on a second day, he was super responsive, returning my calls within a few hours, and even calling me back when our connection dropped just to confirm the time again.
For all that, I think the pricing is fair if not a bargain. I get the sense Matt sincerely loves this sport, and his enthusiasm was contagious. In short, 2 Stand Up Guys is everything their name says.
