Stand-Up Paddleboarding at Paddle Cabin: A Beginner's Guide

First time on a board?

This session is to introduce you to paddleboarding while meeting fellow new local paddlers in the same boat as you learn together as a group. You’ll learn the essentials to set you up on your paddling journey - paddling technique, water safety, how to self rescue, kit and equipment. Our SUP Instructors will teach you how to manoeuvre your board, turn and stand up on your board (if you want to) as well as have the opportunity to ask advice on how to start your new life of adventure on the water. We ask that all paddlers are comfortable in the water.

Duration: 2 hours

What to bring

Check out our Adventure Prep page that’s included in the confirmation note for more details of what to wear and what to bring with you.

All equipment and wetsuits are provided but if you have your own board that you will be using, let us know in this booking form.

What to expect

Say hello to our crew at the cabin and we’ll help you with kit and equipment to get you ready for the water. We’ll run you through some essentials on land before walking your boards a couple metres to our private jetty.

After you’ve paddled your heart out and made your soul happy, we’ll pop back to the cabin to high five on today’s slice of adventure.

Meeting Point

At the Paddle Cabin unless we contact you 24 hours prior with a change of plan due to the weather or river conditions.

Please arrive at the time of your session to get kitted up with us.

If you are bringing your own board, please arrive with enough time to inflate it - it always takes longer than you think!
