We were sorry to hear that The New Forest Paddle Sports Company have ceased trading and it is clear that they will be very much missed by their customers.
Initially they were based in a shop at 46 High Street, Milford on Sea, after which they relocated to Keyhaven Quay, and later opened a Water Sports Shop at West Solent Boat Builders in Keyhaven Boatyard.
Sadly, it appears the difficult economy, and possibly troubled weather, has taken its toll. This is a real shame for Sean, Claire, and all of their many customers who it is clear, really enjoyed the services they offered.
The New Forest Paddle Sports Company Facebook page announcing the closure has over 50 warm comments, with lots of customers thanking them for introducing them to paddleboarding, and for the great times people had enjoyed with them on the water around Milford on Sea.
Owner & instructor, Sean Scott said: "Its with a heavy heart we have had to close the New Forest Paddle Sport Co. We have had so many great times over the last 8 years and hopefully have helped many people to find the joy of paddling. We hope to still see you all on the water. Thank you to all our customers for their support and also thanks to all of our incredible instructors."

Very sad news. Sean and Claire not only introduced so many people to Paddleboarding but also helped the local economy. Their Facebook page shows how well they are respected in the village and perhaps there will be a way back for them in the future.
