Mentone to Seaford One-Way Paddle and Train ride

Hi Everyone,

Join us for a fun "intro downbreezer" from Mentone SLSC to Seaford Pier one way

When:
Saturday 16th May 2026.
Arrive at 7.30am to set up your board.
Safety briefing at 7.55am , on the water shortly after.
Finish approx. 12.30pm
Estimated distance is 14km

Where:
Mentone Surf Life Saving Club. Paid parking close to the club, free parking along the road.

Paddle details:
Launching from Mentone SLSC, we’ll cruise south with a nice ~12kn tailwind towards Seaford Pier, taking in the scenery without a worry about having to paddle back into the wind because we're getting on the train 200m from the pier to bring us home .
We’ll grab the customary coffee and converse as we ride the free train with views over the bay back to Mentone.

Skill level:
This is an intermediate level and fitness paddle — whilst wind-assisted, it's still about 14km.

Equipment:
- Inflatable board is most suitable (if you have to use a hard board we’ll try to pair you up for a car shuffle)
- Backpack / straps / wheels for carrying your deflated board 500m (Some "Red" boards have a detachable lightweight backpack - pics to follow)
- Life jackets are optional, but recommended. Kids 11 years and under MUST have a life jacket on at all times.
- You must have a leg rope for this social paddle.
- Food/water as this is a longer paddle
- Appropriate wet weather gear as it's getting colder
- MYKI or no MYKI as its free this month (good to get practice though)

This is a free paddle but for club members only.

This paddle will be weather dependent, so make sure you watch for updates. This may include changes to the start time, start/finish points or a cancellation if the weather is deemed unsafe to proceed.
A final update will be provided by Friday.
