SUP Melbourne Intermediate Skills Session February 12th 2023

Thanks to Hobsons Bay Council - Make it Happen Grants program this will be our second Intermediate skills session with Sharon Bourke (Supfit Sharon).  This session has been planned for Sandrige Beach Port Melbourne in front of the yacht club, but as always subject to change due to weather and water conditions.   There is limited free parking in the car park  but you can always drop your board off and park on The Boulevard which is free.

Please allow plenty of time to park and set up your boards and be ready to start at 8.30am sharp. 

This session is more for participants that have had reasonable and consistent time on the
water over the past year / are capable of the 4 basic strokes / are comfortable and confident
with falling off and getting back on the board without assistance / progressing skills to confidently paddle in stronger conditions / increasing endurance.

Skills covered subject to conditions on the day may include:

Kick turns 

Breaking down the different phases of a stroke

Tracking a board effectively and efficiently

Safety techniques in stronger conditions

Techniques to catch bumps and gaining control of balance

1.       Pack a spare change of clothes

2.       Clothing to wear on the water ideally will not hold loads of water when wet, lycra, nylon,
