Paddleboarding was invented in the 90’s by big wave surfers that were looking for a way to have fun when their weren’t any waves, but some will argue that it really started well before then by native tribes to navigate rivers.

Paddleboarding was invented in the 90’s by big wave surfers that were looking for a way to have fun when their weren’t any waves, but some will argue that it really started well before then by native tribes to navigate rivers. Either way we are happy to be able to offer such a fun activity here at Buena Vista Watersports!
Each of our paddleboarding lessons starts off with a quick bit of instruction that is sure to get even the most inexperienced paddlers up and moving on the water in no time.
Both the experienced and novice paddlers alike are sure to have fun with a paddleboard rental here on beautiful Lake Bryan!

start their own business. Their connections with the British Tourism Industry was a valuable part in their success. Originally the Ski School was located at a lakefront hotel, however, in 1989 Dave & Andrea were able to purchase the property that is now home to Buena Vista Watersports & Paradise Cove!
Developing the property wasn’t easy! They had to hire engineers, architects, and contractors. Permits, public hearings and easements alone took over 3 years! Buena Vista Watersports opened in 1993! Dave and Andrea were a team. Andrea would handle the reps that would book the skiers as well as the register & accounting, while Dave would arrange transportation, make the phone calls, and run the water sports. If they weren’t skiing 100 people a day, it was a slow day!
Dave became the face of water skiing in Orlando and was renowned in the UK. Over 100 guests per day would learn to ski on Lake Bryan with Dave by their side. Tourists in “Dave’s Ski School” shirts were seen everywhere! In 2012, we brought back these retro shirts so make sure you pick one up on your visit!
