Stand Up Paddling

The easiest way to make stand-up paddling part of your week — every Tuesday night off Takapuna Beach.

Thinking about giving SUP a go but not sure where to start? Or do you already own a board that's been quietly collecting dust? This is built for exactly that.

Every Tuesday night, first-timers and seasoned paddlers line up on the same stretch of water. Across 8 nights of racing your fitness and confidence will climb — and you can move up a distance mid-season as you improve.

🏄 Fun for first-timers, a real challenge for seasoned paddlers, and a supportive beach community either way.
