SUP and Lunch in St Kilda
This Saturday consists of stand-up paddleboarding and fresh seafood at Pontoon.
Overview
Finally the warmer months are here, and you can make the most of the sunshine and bearable water temps by trying your hand (or feet as it were) at stand-up paddle boarding. A carry-over from ancient Polynesian times, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years as a brilliant way to sharpen that balance and exercise on the high seas – and the St Kilda shoreline provides the ideal spot to get into the swing of it in Melbourne. Plus, the sport's a whole lot easier to master than its gnarlier cousin surfing — one lesson is usually enough to have you paddling like a pro.
Once you're mastered the art of stand-up paddle boarding, head to St Kilda's favourite casual bar and eatery, Pontoon. There are loads of fresh seafood plates to share and some beachside classics to choose from – absolutely perfect after spending your morning carving up the seas.
