My SUP Introduction experience with Wild & Free
We had an amazing SUP lesson with Jono who was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging throughout. His calm & friendly demeanour helped make our experience fun and relaxing. We would highly recommend Jono to anyone looking to learn SUP or improve their skills!

My SUP Introduction experience with Wild & Free
My husband and I had the best SUP session with Jono on Lough Mardal. It was our first time doing SUP and we learned so much from Jono in the short time we were together. We had such a fun time while learning alot about the sport and we couldn’t recommend Jono enough. He even caught our epic fails on camera. 5 stars, thank you Jono.
