Get out on the water with Victoria's SUP community

Social paddles, surf clinics, downwinders and racing, run by paddlers for paddlers since 2009. First time or first place, there's a spot for you.

SUP Vic is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run club with members from Portland to Lakes Entrance. We exist to grow stand up paddleboarding across every discipline, flatwater, surf, downwinding and racing, and to make sure every paddler has a pod, a coach and a paddle buddy to do it with.

Find your discipline

SUP Surf

Already standing, easier to spot a set, easier to get into position. A different way into wave riding.

Explore SUP Surf

Downwinding

Use the wind and swell to cover ground. One of the fastest-growing parts of the sport in Victoria.

Explore downwinding

Racing

From club pod sessions through to state and national titles, in age categories for every paddler.

Explore racing

Flatwater & social

Regular pod paddles for fitness, fun and building confidence on the water, no racing required.

Getting started

Never paddled before?

Our Come & Try clinics run through spring and summer across Gippsland, the Surf Coast and Melbourne/Mornington Peninsula. No board, no experience needed, just bring yourself.

Paddle with your local pod

Pods are local groups of paddlers who train and paddle together. Find yours and turn up.
