Morning light lays a flat sheen across Port Phillip Bay as eight paddles rise and fall in unison on a board the size of a small island. The Giant SUP holds a crowd, and here at St Kilda Marina the water dares you to synchronize: wobble together, then move as one. Dolphins sometimes thread the channel; little penguins slip around the breakwater at dusk.
