Christmas Stand Up Paddleboard along the Yarra

Join in the legendary SUP Melbourne Christmas Social Paddle on the Yarra – a super fun, super-festive paddle that is a truly unforgettable experience.

Launching from Yarra Edge marina, paddle upstream taking in all the Christmas fun and festivities of the city, stopping halfway for drinks and nibbles.

Note: You must have current paddling experience, be a competent swimmer, and you need to bring your own board, paddle and leash.

This paddle is not ideal for first timers. Kids 11 years and under must have a life jacket on at all times. Due to safety concerns, dogs (and other pets) are not permitted.
