Experience the Birrarung and view of the city from a truly unique perspective with Tim Brosnan of SUP Melbourne. We will be doing a 10km paddle on stand up paddle boards, from Point Park Docklands upstream to Merrel bridge and return. You do need to have some paddle boarding experience and medium level fitness to participate. You will also need your own SUP. A small number of SUP's to borrow, may be available upon request.

Accessibility: Persons with disabilities most welcome to attend, however you must provide your own paddle boarding equipment and must have good paddle boarding experience. Riverfest welcomes everyone—we’re committed to making our events accessible and inclusive for people of all abilities. If you have accessibility needs and require support to attend, please email carolyn.tate@yarrariver.org.au
