Be a part of the fastest growing water sports in the world, stand up paddle board surfing. Take a lesson today and
paddle amongst the yachts, soak up the sun and enjoy the city views. If you are lucky, St Kilda's penguins and dolphins will join in the fun!
Stand-up paddle surfing is the fastest growing water sport in the world, and it’s little wonder why. The low-impact sport encourages general fitness through strength and balance exercise, all while having fun in the water.
Better yet, the leisurely sport requires no existing level of skill to be able to have a great time. With all action sports, it is important that you learn the correct technique from day one and stand–up paddle board surfing is no different.
Our instructors will have you paddling effectively in a short space of time, and ensure you leave us with adequate knowledge to paddle on your own. Our lessons are conducted in a safe and nurturing environment and in a format that all family members can enjoy.
