Testimonials
“Went with John for a personal lesson today as it was my first experience. Went from Faro island eastwards down the estuary off the Atlantic Ocean. John gave an excellent brief and was incredibly helpful and good fun at the same time. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will go out again.…. maybe the caves at Bengali next time. Definitely recommend you give him a try… well worth it.
“Looking forward to spending time again with John, Heike, and Luna. If you fancy learning to SUP or just want to spend some great time on the water with lovely people, then ZEN SUP are the people for you.
“We had a great time paddle-boarding. John (the instructor) is fantastic — we were all beginners and he had all of us feeling confident within minutes. He took time with each of us individually while out on the water too so you were never stranded or simply following the crowd. John clearly has passion for his work and is generally a nice, easy going and fun guy — making the day really good fun as well as learning something new. He also has a dog called Luna who came along with us for the trip on John’s Paddleboard which was a bonus (we all love dogs!). Would highly recommend to anyone and thanks to John for a memorable day!
“Learning to SUP with ZEN SUP was an amazing experience. With passion and dedication, Heike and John make it so easy to do, teaching you how, taking you out on the water and in no time you enjoy paddling on the most beautiful spots like the Ria Formosa. What stands out most with them is professionalism, passion, and fun. Great teachers that know what they do.
