We want to launch at 8.30pm, so please arrive early to set up. 

What to bring. 
Your board, leg rope and paddle. A light for your board (see below). Life jackets are advised but not mandatory. Your sense of fun. 

Some safety info: 
LIGHTS ARE MANDATORY. NO LIGHTS, NO PADDLE. Everyone must have at least one white light on the deck of your board. Headlamps and bike lights are NOT suitable, as you’ll blind the other paddles. 

At minimum, this light from Kmart is great - https://www.kmart.com.au/product/bulb-tent-light-42463542/?sku=42463542&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=free_listings&srsltid=AfmBOoqA20Pn0w7-Aatn7At4d0XV_8HYr-2tCB6r0dgSxk6_euEEviSuMjY&region_id=300001

Just zip tie or tape it to your board. 

Sorry, this paddle is not suitable for first timers. There are quite a few slow moving power boat’s enjoying the lights as well, so the we will get a lot of boat wakes. You need to feel confident paddling for about 6-7 kms in the dark, at a slow casual pace. 

Feel free to dress up your board with some fun fairy lights or led lights.
