About this Event

Got To Get Out and LEARN paddle boarding?

Two sessions:

- complete beginner (8am-10am), high tide.

- beginner 'plus' (if you've tried before and want to improve) 1030am-1230noon

* Complete first-timers should come to the first session please *

In these 1.5 hour sessions you will get:

- learn how to put up an inflatable SUP board (more emphasis of this in session one)

- use of GTGO boards (10ft10 Torpedo7 and Aztron boards included)

- identify suitable water to paddle, wind, tide, dangers, 'should I paddle here'?

- tour around St Marys bay close to moored yachts and pontoons, stunning water!

- learn how to exit onto a pontoon (second session in particular when tide will be lower)

- learn some tricks and tips (turning, paddling, stability, speed paddling)

Event is for ages 13yo + only please (due to the size of boards and equipment)

Got To Get Out founder (NZSurf qualified paddle board coach) Robert Bruce is hosting the Saturday sessions.

Big thanks to Westhaven Marina for having us!

Note: the location is the grassy area next to the beach, half way along West Haven Drive. This area is called "St Marys Bay Beach".

**********************************************************

Note:

You will use either your own board or borrow one of ours.

Note, you are expected to pump up or put down your own boards - because part of the objective of this is to learn the 'how' of paddle boarding.
