    Amazing Kayaking and Paddle Boarding. JM is traffic! Tons of passion. My daughter loves it!

    The email reply from them and rest of my emails are ignored.

    The worst customer service. When you call the phone number it goes to message stating to email them. When you email them they give vague and ambiguous statements. When you purchase the Groupon no where does it state weekdays only. Kostal paddle claims to be sold out for all of August weekends. I requested August 26 and August 27 or August 20 which are weekend And this was in the end of July. I bought this for my cousin birthday gift. Now I am embarrassed in front cousin of since establishment won't give a appointment to kayak. I emailed several times asking anytime is fine early morning like 7 am but on a weekend. Now the kostal paddle is ignoring my emails. Treating Groupon customers as second grade. I would never give my money to Kostal paddle with Groupon or without.

    Highly recommended for anyone who wants to stay safe, enjoy nature and be out on the water. JM, the owner & guide, was very accommodating and provided a private 2 1/2 hour solo tour for me. Whether you're by yourself or with a group, he's got all the equipment and expertise you'll need, as well as ideas around the Clearwater/ Palm Harbor and places behind where he can take you.

    I am so glad my daughter got to experience paddle boarding & kayaking this summer! Kostal Paddle was thorough, safe and fun .. they even incorporated a beach clean up in the kids days. I highly recommend giving them a try .. extra kudos to them for quick communication whenever we had questions. We will definitely be back on the water with them soon!

    I was looking to get out of Manhattan and enjoy a beautiful summer day out on the water. There is nothing in the world more free than SUP, so without any hesitation I looked up what was out there and found a perfect location. Port Washington was the spot and Kostal Paddle was the rental. JM and his staff were so cool and friendly. Perfect for a quick excursion from the city to chill in Manhasset Bay. I will return and plan to use the other locations

    Awesome spot to paddle out of. I've done both kayaking and paddle boarding with Kostal. Their island park spot is cool too. Staff is super friendly and helpful even if you don't want a lesson they'll answer and questions you have if it's your first time. I've met up with groups here to paddle out together and it's a really good time. Not to mention cheaper rental pricing than anywhere else I've been.

    Hi, I would like to try kitesurfing lessons, please let me know if you provide equipment and what would be the cost for one intro lesson and for a novice package?

    Right now we do not offer kiteboarding lessons. Please try Best kite school.

    I really wanted to like this school but after thinking on everything that's happened, it's really…read morenot great. My first session, we did basic stance on sand then we were in the water with an instructor who was pushing me onto waves. He just kept talking with other instructors and wasn't really teaching me anything. When I asked questions on form or technique he'd give me short answers in an agro tone. During one of the wave rides I fell off the board and it hit me in the throat and I was under water for a little. No one noticed lol not one instructor. Maybe because they were too busy talking about the surf spots like to go to. Second time my session ended up being on a day of a storm and the waves were insanely big. They still got us out into the water - I was scared since it was my second timer ever. I think it was stupid for them to hold the session instead of offering to come back another time. I could barely get over the waves and was flipped over multiple times. When I come out to Rockaways I always see that instructor I had my first session with and he acts super agro still. Maybe he doesn't like women bc he seems to get on with the guys. Don't know what the deal is but I'd recommend doing a session with a private instructor in the area instead of this school.

    I really recommend going surfing in the Rockaways if you're looking for a fun activity to do…read more My biggest regret was not going to Rockaway Beach more frequently because of how accessible by public transportation it is.....it just takes a bit of time depending on where you live. I've surfed before, but wanted to try this school out since it's been a while and was unfamiliar with the waves. I did the $90 group package and it was definitely worth it. They provided the wetsuit and board, so all you had to bring was yourself. The instructors were super friendly and encouraging. The guy I had did a really great job of just simply explaining key points so you can get on your board and ride. The amount of time spent surfing is plentiful and you will have a ton of chances to ride nice waves. My recommendation is to google the wave heights and coordinate the best time to ride. Would definitely do it again, and I think for next year I'm contemplating on buying a 10-pack package so I can go more often. Surfs Up!

    I highly recommend New York Surf School. I booked a 4 hour (double-session) because I figured it…read morewould take a me a while to get the hang of it. The water was 65 degrees, but with the wet suit they provided I felt comfortable the whole time. The board was a 9 foot foam top with three fins. Angela provided on-beach instruction on how to paddle and pop-up -- which was pretty quick, so we got right in the water. Andrew took us in the water and we started catching waves right away. He puts you in just the right position and gives you a push and tells you when to pop-up. We basically caught a ton of waves all day with tips on form throughout. Andrew is very nice and a pleasure to hang with. The waves were small, maybe 2 to 3 feet, but it was perfect for learning how to stand up and ride straight in to the beach.
