Adventure Tips
Stay Hydrated
Bring water with you as paddle boarding is a full-body workout, and hydration is key especially on sunny days.
Wear Sun Protection
Use waterproof sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself from intense Australian sun exposure while on the water.
Start in Calm Water
Begin your lesson in the river’s sheltered coves to build confidence in stable conditions before venturing into open stretches.
Use a Leash
Always attach the board leash to your ankle to prevent the board from drifting away if you fall into the water.
