The morning air off the Brisbane River tastes like salt and petrol, and the city skyline leans in close as riders launch from Breakfast Creek in Newstead. Within moments you’re skimming a wide, slow-water artery that threads the CBD, passing under bridges while the Story Bridge arches overhead and the old Powerhouse huddles at the river’s bend. The river pushes and plays with the skis—sometimes a gentle nudge, sometimes a slick of current that asks for a sharper edge.
