This was a gorgeous way to see the city from a whole new perspective. As first time stand up paddle boarders they equipped up properly, taught us what to do and turned us loose to have fun. Board rental costs were excellent. We loved the city views, the very cute penguins, the big ones expensive yachts (see how the other half lives!) and the exhilarating feeling of success when we stood up. Definitely the place to go stand up paddle boarding in Melbourne! And COVID safety was definitely considered and acted upon.

Thanks Vinnie, for such an amazing morning with you, Rohan & Tilly. A great way to get a different perspective on the bay. Could not recommend it more highly.

My and my boyfriend booked a stand up paddling session two weeks ago - it was a lot of fun: the weather was great and even though we only booked for one hour, we were told to enjoy the beautiful weather, and thus, could use the boards for one extra hour for free!! Very genorous!!

We really enjoyed our time on the paddle boards but our experience was even better because of the amazing service we received from Vincent. You can tell this is a great business that cares about their customers.

I SUP several times with Vinnie. It was always amazing. Strategic location, I get to see the penguins sleeping inside the rocks. I remember the first time I tried it, it was easy, clear instructions from Vinnie. Best activity to do in St. Kilda beach!!

Me and a friend arrived at St Kilda to rent out a couple of paddle boards for an hour. They warned us that the wind was due to pick up badly in the next hour or so, so we jumped in before the wind hit. Unfortunately strong winds came in a lot sooner than was forecasted and after 30 minutes we had to terminate the session. When they helped us bring the boards back, they decided that they'd waive the cost of the session - this was really generous of them! Thank you for the kind gesture guys, we live nearby so we'll be back very soon for a paddle on a calmer day! Thanks a lot! :)

We hired paddle boards from stand up paddle board HQ. Neither of us had done if before but the instructors gave us a couple of tips before we went. It was brilliant! Great equipment, friendly staff and really easy to hire the boards. They were really flexible when we turned up late. I would really recommend going with this company as the area you paddle board in is in a marina so it's not too windy and the water is calm. Thanks for a great experience! Xx

Vincent was super outgoing and welcoming, making us comfortable when we got to the beach each day. Great people skills.

Paddle boarding was entirely new to me - a great way to see the bay, get into balance on a board and enjoy the water. This is a sheer joy if you want to train a sense of balance in your body and are not afraid of getting wet. I have a hidden disability and had lost a great deal of confidence in the water, but I lstill love the sea. Paddle boarding brought me back to life again! This was a unique way to travel across the bay and learn to trust the waves again. Thank you to Vincent who taught us the first session, trusted us with his boards and coaxed us back inland when we were threatening to head for Taz!
