Our Community Social paddles are a chance for our community to connect on the water and enjoy a 1-2 hour paddle at a relaxed pace. If you’re looking for a way to make new friends, connect with other paddlers and feel part of something special - these events are for you!

Our Community social paddles happen adhoc throughout the year as a way to bring our community together to catch up, connect and celebrate the incredible women who paddle with us. These catch ups after often created to celebrate key holidays and dates such as Halloween, Christmas, end of season/start of season and therefore are THEMED as we LOVE an excuse to dress-up on our SUPs and have a laugh!!

Introducing, our next THEMED Community Social Paddle of the year…

This year’s Halloween Paddle is a special one, we’re going traditional, we’re going full ‘witch’ in our costumes BUT there’s an extra special reason… we want to make a scene, we want people to turn their heads and go ‘wow, is that 40 witches on paddleboards?’ because we want to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer Network Australia.

She SUPs has been running since 2019, and over the last 6 years we’ve had many members of our paddling community impacted by cancer. In one way, it’s not surprising based on the statistics of how many Australians are impacted by cancer, but when it’s the people we paddle with on a weekly basis, it definitely hits home.

This year for Halloween, we’re proudly raising money and awareness for Breast Cancer Network Australia, who provide support for thousands of women every day going through any stage of their cancer journey, as well as providing education and support for carers too. Please join us to have a heap of fun (as we always do with our themed paddles!) but also raise money for such an important cause. $10 from every registration will be donated to BCNA on your behalf. Thank you! See you on the water witches!! 😉

ABILITY LEVEL
Suitable for ALL abilities. We recommend that if you haven’t paddled before, you take a lesson first before this event as our Community Social Paddles have a large number of paddlers and it can be a little daunting if you haven’t paddled before. Also for this themed paddle, our instructors will be purely there for safety not instruction, therefore we simply head out onto the water, go for a float at a slow pace, have a good chat, laugh at our amazing costumes, and as always, there’s no pressure to stand! Click here to find out more about our lessons if you need one before this event.

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT’S BAD WEATHER?
We will reach out to you via email if we have to reschedule due to bad weather. Please trust that your instructors are watching detailed weather forecasts and will never put you in an unsafe or unenjoyable situation.

ABOUT OUR OTHER COMMUNITY SOCIAL PADDLES

Our Community Social Paddles run adhoc throughout the year as a way to welcome new paddlers to She SUPs, create a safe and supportive atmosphere for everyone to find and meet potential new paddle buddies and provide an opportunity for you find 90-120 minutes in your busy schedule to get out on the water to gain all the benefits being on and near water brings.
