We had an absolute BLAST with Jacques and the Adrenalised team!! Myself, my husband and our 5 year old did a paddle board lesson and felt super confident, safe and informed the entire time. I never in a million years thought that I had enough balance for something like this, but Jacques made me feel like a pro! I’d recommend Adrenalised to any adventure seekers (regardless of experience level). This is a must do activity if you’re in the Ft Lauderdale area!
